and that's why i do "chattr +i /etc/nsswitch.conf" and "chattr +i
/etc/resolv.conf" for year - guys stop mangle around in /etc - this is
admin area and way too often the mdns crap was added unasked or "mysql"
for nss-mysql touched in the past years finding you perfectly working
config in a damned .bak file
everything which touchs /etc at updates is broken by design
Yes I've been doing chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf for a very long time.
However in the case of /etc/nsswitch.conf, changing it (with the
cooperation of glibc of course) to be a symlink seems reasonable.
What I'm (still) missing is what's the actual plan? What should
things look like?
Rich.
