Bind9 dependencyBind9 dependencyPosted Jan 26, 2006 16:32 UTC (Thu) by tkeitt (guest, #34685)Parent article: The GNOME NetworkManager Applet
The review failed to mention that, at least on Ubuntu, the full bind9 package is a dependancy. I can imagine why it might be needed, but I hesitate to install bind on my laptop.

Bind9 dependency Posted Jan 26, 2006 17:08 UTC (Thu) by pkern (subscriber, #32883) [Link] At least on Dapper Drake (the upcoming release) there is no such dependency, and it's a matter of `apt-get install network-manager' and adding it to the startup programs as suggested by the editor.
Bind9 dependency Posted Jan 27, 2006 13:39 UTC (Fri) by cortana (subscriber, #24596) [Link] Presumably bind9 is configured to forward all queries to the DNS servers specified by NetworkManager.
Since programs only read /etc/resolv.conf when the are started, this was presumably necessary to allow a system to connect to a different network without having to restart all programs. I wonder what changed in Dapper...
Bind9 dependency Posted Jan 29, 2006 18:05 UTC (Sun) by tkeitt (guest, #34685) [Link] That's good to hear. Was just traveling with NM installed and it works very well. I did notice it has some problems with suspend-resume cycles and turning the radio on and off. Otherwise a huge improvement.
