Hi Karthik,

What are you trying to achieve?
As far as I know there is no packacge called resolvconf.

There is however a file /etc/resolv.conf which lists the name servers (dns) to use to.

hi,

Thanks for your response.

I have configured openvpn on my fedora system. In my system I am running server configuration. When my clients systems after connecting with my server through the openvpn, all client systems cannot browse internet. Then i found the problem in DNS resolving. After connecting vpn , it doesn't resolve DNS. I checked on google , there was a solution i.e first install resolvconf then use domain.up and domain.down script to update the openvpn server dns on all client systems.
domain.up:
#!/bin/bash
# really naff script to add nameserver entry on up
DEV=$1
set | sed -n "
s/^foreign_option_.* DNS \(.*\)'/nameserver \1/; T next; p;
:next; s/^foreign_option_.* DOMAIN \(.*\)'/domain \1/; T; p;
" | resolvconf -a $DEV
resolvconf -u

domain.down:
#!/bin/bash
# really naff script to delete nameserver entry on down
DEV=$1
resolvconf -d $DEV
resolvconf -u

these two scripts need resolvconf.
that both scripts should run on all openvpn client systems, when it try to connect with openvpn server. If it run successfully, server DNS should be updated on all openvpn client systems.

I have done everything except this resolvconf installation

I think you got my point

Can you provide me a solution?

Thanks

I would try to find an openvpn forum or mailing list if I were you and search the FAQ's / Help on their site.

resolvconf is not a standard package, it may be something they provide though.
