Edit: Topic was originally: DHCPD Server doesn't provide DNS servers

Good evening,

I've installed on my NAS a DHCP server (dhcpd). Works quite well. It provides

  • fixed ip addresses for known devices
  • a dhcp range for unknown devices


Only the creation of the resolv.conf isn't working properly:

cat /etc/dhcpd.conf:
authoritative;

option domain-name "fritz.box";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.109.11, 192.168.109.1;
option routers 192.168.109.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.109.255;

subnet 192.168.109.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.109.50 192.168.109.79;
}

host hexe {
    hardware ethernet B8:AC:6F:3F:B1:C3;
    fixed-address 192.168.109.20;
    option host-name hexe;
}
… (something more)


And the result is:
cat /etc/resolv.conf:
#Generated by resolvconf
search fritz.box
nameserver 127.0.0.1


How do I get this to work as in the configuration file specified?

Is this about an external NAS connected to Fritz!Box or about http://fritz.box/storage/settings.lua?

It's a nas connected to my wlan router (fritzbox). The DHCP server on the fritzbox is deactivated.

Found out another strange thing:
Code:
dhcpcd wlan0
DUID 00:01:00:01:1c:ad:49:36:00:26:2d:f5:9e:11
wlan0: IAID 82:96:5e:6d
wlan0: soliciting a DHCP lease
wlan0: offered 192.168.109.21 from 192.168.109.11
wlan0: leased 192.168.109.21 for 7200 seconds
wlan0: adding route to 192.168.109.0/24
wlan0: adding default route via 192.168.109.1
forked to background, child pid 1225

cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
domain fritz.box
nameserver 127.0.0.1


But
Code:
dhclient wlan0
RTNETLINK answers: File exists

cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain fritz.box
search fritz.box
nameserver 192.168.109.11
nameserver 127.0.0.1


So dhclient seems to do something different than dhcpcd.

Is that now a client or a server problem?

There's a new piece in the game:

Found in the logfile of my client:
Code:
Apr 16 17:05:17 miniding NetworkManager[296]: <info>    address 192.168.109.21
Apr 16 17:05:17 miniding NetworkManager[296]: <info>    plen 24 (255.255.255.0)

Apr 16 17:05:18 miniding NetworkManager[296]: <info>  NetworkManager state is now CONNECTED_GLOBAL
Apr 16 17:05:18 miniding NetworkManager[296]: <info>  Policy set 'Blechnet-Wlan' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS.
Apr 16 17:05:18 miniding NetworkManager[296]: <info>  Writing DNS information to /usr/bin/resolvconf
Apr 16 17:05:18 miniding NetworkManager[296]: <info>  (wlan0): Activation: successful, device activated.

Ok, regarding to the log-file the Network Manager receives the correct nameservers and writes the information to /usr/bin/resolvconf

/usr/bin/resolvconf -l:
# resolv.conf from NetworkManager
# Generated by NetworkManager
search fritz.box
nameserver 192.168.109.11
nameserver 127.0.0.1


But:
cat /etc/resolv.conf:

# Generated by resolvconf
search fritz.box
nameserver 127.0.0.1


Means /usr/bin/resolvconf shows the correct entry, but /etc/resolv.conf is still wrong.

I wouldn't bother with NetworkManager; just use dhcpcd.

It'll manage wpa-supplicant if you need WIFI, and there's a Qt/GTK systray applet for it too.

It's a notebook, which has to be used in different environments. And also my wife has to use it. Therefore I need some kind of GUI.

I'm using e16 without any systray box.

The problem remains: /usr/bin/resolvconf doesn't update /etc/resolv.conf.

If I force the update, then it works:
Code:
/usr/bin/resolvconf -u

Can I configure NetworkManager how to call/use resolvconf?

Ok, found a / the solution:

/etc/resolvconf.conf:
resolv_conf=/etc/resolv.conf
resolvconf=NO
resolv_conf_passthrough=YES


Didn't need this before. But with that settings resolvconf writes the received data from networkmanager.
