Re 1: It's headless, so the network service
Re 2:
I've investigated this extensively this morning (and I don't
think it's worthwhile attaching any of the versions of the
files). Contrary to Comment #5, system-config-network does
NOT set SEARCH in any /etc/sysconfig/network* file, nor does
it read SEARCH from any of them. It currently
(system-config-network-1.5.97-1.fc11.noarch) simply changes
/etc/resolv.conf (this seems to be a regression).
If SEARCH is not set in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 but there is a
search line in /etc/resolv.conf, dhclient ignores this
latter and creates a search line from what it gets from the
dhcp server. This seems like reasonable behaviour. Whether
it's correct I'll leave up to you...
If SEARCH is set in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
dhclient uses this when creating the new /etc/resolv.conf
This also seems reasonable (etc).
It seems clear to me that system-config-network should read
and write SEARCH in /etc/sysconfig.*/ifcfg-$device. So I
reckon the bug really is in system-config-network.
Assuming that you'll agree with that contention (David),
I've changed the component back to system-config-network
This bug hat been hanging around since before Fedora 8, and
it bites me every time I upgrade to another version of
Fedora, so I'd be grateful if it were resolved.
