(Get the code!)
Using Hardy on AMD64.
To me it looks as though the DNS handling of kvpnc (or openvpn?), NetworkManager and resolvconf do not really go well together.
Case 1: kvpnc, openvpn, NetworkManager, but NO resolvconf:
I can open a VPN connection and everything works fine for some minutes. After some minutes, however, /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten by the default nameserver (I assume by NetworkManager), so that the VPN nameservice doesn't wokr anymore.
Case 2: kvpnc, openvpn, NetworkManager and resolvconf:
NetworkManager uses resolvconf (by way of the ifup-scripts, if I'm not mistaken), however kvpnc does not - it simply overwrites /etc/resolv.conf and saves a copy of the old one. When /etc/resolv.conf is reinstalled by kvpnc after the VPN has been disconnected, it copies the old version of resolv.conf over the kvpnc-version. However, as resolvconf requires a symbolic link, this will destroy the functionality of resolvconf...
Does anybody know how to get kvpnc to use resolvconf? That would probably be the best solution...
