(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kppp Version: 2.0 Severity: normal Installed from: Mandrake 7.2 When I run Kppp I can connect to my ISP no probem. The DNS entries I entered for Kppp are being entered into /etc/resolv.conf twice - one set are commented as Kppp the other as ppp. When I exit Kppp the Kppp entries are removed but the ppp entries are not. This doesn't appear to cause any problems though it might if I use more than one ISP. Pete (submitted via bugs.kde.org)
In addition to putting two copies of the DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf KPPP 2.0.2 also does not respect NOT setting the 'disable existing dns servers during connection'. It overwrites any DNS addresses which already exist in resolv.conf regardless and does not restore them on disconnection. Thanks Allen Barnett

In other words if you want to disable the existing dns servers you must set a non empty domain name. Otherwise you will get the existing dns servers before the ones added by kppp despite having checked the 'disable existing dns' box. This is extremely confusing. This is still true in the 2.2 branch. - Leon Bottou

FreeBSD 4.8 RC KDE 3.1.0 Installed from ports This does not appear to be a problem anymore. Kppp writes to /etc/resolv.conf correctly. This bug report should be closed. Note: I have also used Kppp satisfactorily in Mandrake 8.2 and Mandrake 9.0.. This bug appears to be fixed. WORKSFORME
Seems to work fine for me as well. Marking WORKSFORME.
In kppp 2.1.4 on a Mandrake 10.0 I have exactly the problem described by Allen Barnett: disabling other DNS does not work when no domain name is provided. Is this corrected ?
