Also, on bootup, the name servers are set from dhcp even though disable-dhcp-nameservers is set. After a commit, the broken resolv.conf is created.

The difference might be because my IPv6 server is first, but I'm also experiencing the non-update when I try to add 1.1.1.1 to see if having an IPv4 server first helps.

@c-po @mb300sd found the issue 'Nameservers are not propagated into resolv.conf' (no script in node def) , also the issue with the split ipv6 does not seem to be in host_name.py, will look a bit further for that.

UnicronNL added a comment.EditedJul 1 2019, 1:34 PM

@mb300sd what is the dhcp server you are using?
Could you also please share the content of the files:
/etc/resolv.conf.dhclient-new-eth0 (or other interface if you use an other)
/etc/resolv.conf.dhclient-old-eth0 (or other interface if you use an other)

It's at&t's dhcp server, I have no idea what they run.

cat /etc/resolv.conf.dhclient-new-eth0.0
nameserver 68.94.156.11
nameserver 68.94.157.11

@mb300sd is the ipv6 address provided via dhcp?

Also could you try the rolling for tomorrow? 20190702

mb300sd added a comment.EditedJul 1 2019, 6:09 PM

IPv6 is all static - he.net tunnels. Will try the rolling when it's up.

Updated to latest rolling, 1.2.0-rolling+201907020337

Fresh reboot, disable-dhcp-nameservers is still not working. The resolv.conf generated is valid now.

@mb300sd do you mean after a fresh boot you get:

vyos@vyos:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

### Autogenerated by host_name.py ###
nameserver 68.94.156.11
nameserver 68.94.157.11

and after you do

set system name-server 1.1.1.1

you get

### Autogenerated by host_name.py ###
nameserver 2001:470:20::2
nameserver 74.82.42.42
nameserver 1.1.1.1

domain xxxx.xxxx.net
search xxxx.xxxx.net

is that corect?

after adding the 1.1.1.1 i see disable-dhcp-nameservers working as

nameserver 68.94.156.11
nameserver 68.94.157.11

are gone.

but this does not happen on boot?

@mb300sd can you share your config maybe?

could you please retest it with:

mb300sd added a comment.Jul 2 2019, 8:36 PM

@UnicronNL yes. On boot it creates the resolv.conf with DHCP nameservers and missing the domain/search options. If I commit, it generates one with my configured servers and the domain/search options.

Config is massive, but this should be the relevant parts. It occurs on both of my routers that have DHCP addresses.

Not sure when the messed up one with all the lines happens, it wasn't right after commit, seemed to be after sitting for a few hours, but it was broken again when I tried to add system image just now.

mb300sd added a comment.Jul 2 2019, 8:51 PM

Still using the dhcp servers on 1.2.0-rolling+201907022116. Will post back in a few hours if the one with a bunch of lines happens again.

@mb300sd i just created this one https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-1.2.0-rolling%2B201907022116-amd64.iso did you already test with it?

also do you wait for you config to be completely loaded before you check?

mb300sd added a comment.Jul 2 2019, 9:16 PM

Yeah, that's the one I just installed.

Config should be completely loaded, it was about 5 minutes after the login prompt appeared. Will reboot again and leave it for a while to see if anything changes.

mb300sd mentioned this in T1504: DHCP-provided DNS servers are not propagated to resolv.conf.Jul 3 2019, 2:47 AM
UnicronNL added a comment.EditedJul 3 2019, 9:08 AM

@mb300sd do you know how long it takes for the config to load for you? because the /etc/resolv.conf file is persistent. but on loading the config it should do the 'set system nameserver 2001:470:20::2' and overwrite the resolv.conf file.

can it be that in the console you have a message that config failed?
or can you wait for the whole config to load and after then check the resolv.conf?

if it does not hit your 'set system nameserver' part then there is maybe something wrong in the config.

please use what i wrote here with this image: https://downloads.vyos.io/rolling/current/amd64/vyos-1.2.0-rolling%2B201907031336-amd64.iso

Had a long 4th of July weekend, but the issue appears to be resolved in 1.2.0-rolling+201907080337.

Noticed this today. Possibly another related bug, seems to have appeared the same time the previous ones were fixed. Hostname in bgp is showing up as 'debian', the hostname command, /etc/hostname, /etc/resolv.conf show the correct hostname.

The problem, which leads to the malformed hostname in Hostname Capability was fixed in T1531. I am marking this as "Resolved", because the problem with DNS servers was resolved also, according to feedback.

mb300sd added a comment.Jul 20 2019, 1:16 AM

I wonder if the bgp daemon is being started before the hostname is changed by the config script. Seems possible since we added a lock so it executes later.

@mb300sd. create please a new one task with detailed description for BGP, if there are still some problems with it.
