No. Seriously, just stop.
Those of us who have done chattr +i on one or more systems have, in
many cases, TRIED OTHER SOLUTIONS first and found them wanting.
Take me for example.
At work, I edited /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and removed the options that
tell dhclient to ask for domain-name-servers (et al.). This works fine
for me at work. The DHCP servers at work respect my wish not to be
given a domain-name-server, so dhclient never touches resolv.conf and
everyone is happy.
Then I tried the same thing at home.
The results were NOT the same.
The Belkin plastic router at home sends me a domain-name-server even
if I do not ask for one. And dhclient apparently overwrites resolv.conf
every time it receives a domain-name-server from the DHCP server.
EVEN IF IT DID NOT REQUEST ONE.
So, the solution that I used at work does not work at home.
You know what DOES work, though?
chattr +i works.
Do I prefer this solution? No.
Would I be happier if I could use a more elegant solution? Yes.
Should the dhclient program have a CONFIG FILE OPTION to say
"NEVER TOUCH THE resolv.conf FILE"? YES!
Does it? NO!
Do I expect it ever to have one in the future? BWA-hahahaha! No.
So we use what works, because the other choices don't fucking work.
This is not about lack of creativity.
It is not about being too blind or ignorant or stubborn to use the
other solutions. ("Everything looks like a nail.")
This is about the other soluttions NOT WORKING.
It is about ISC being too blind or ignorant or stubborn to consider that
many people run the DHCP client software WITHOUT being the ones in
charge of the DHCP server on the same network.
Or, not considering that many people use cheap plastic consumer-grade
routers that don't behave the same way the ISC DHCP server behaves.
Am I getting through yet?
