Unfortunately yes.
My experience with Debian 8/9 and more recent Ubuntu is that there is now no
escaping it. One could use instead the SysV init package in Debian, it
seems to be
fully usable in 9, but my management tells me that is not an option.

Invented, yes, but over 130 years ago. The term phagocyte was coined in 
about 1883 by Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Claus to describe the cells 
discovered by Ilya Mechnikov, winner of the 1908 Nobel Prize in Medicine:

And you would need a verb in the present tense, not an adjective, so 
probably more than four letters.

I agree.  And obviously you have more educational credits hanging on the 
wall than I.  My interest in the physical world did not include such 
early medicinal work, I had more interest in such things as capacitors 
and resistors, and am quite comfortable making vacuum tubes, or smart 
sand, do usefull work.

But my formal was terminated at my freshman year in high school by a 
health problem, which when the cause, then several years into my working 
life, an allergy to milk! So stopping that was a huge help. But by then 
it was a bit late to attempt going back to high school, so I kept on 
covering the service benches for electronics related stuff. Eventually 
migrated to  broadcasting, and put in about 25 years occupying the Chief 
Engineers office, last 18 of that as the CE at WDTV here in West 
Virginia, USA. I have been accused of walking on water electronically so 
these days, when I am purchaseing parts to make whatever and they want a 
business name, I am WOWElectronics.

Along the way to 83 yo, I did collect other papers to hang on the wall, 
like a 1st Phone (never cracked a book, walked in cold) and a C.E.T. 
(ditto). Then my new wife, back in '89, has a Bachelors in Music, so she 
had me go take the GED. Didn't hear for 3 weeks, I ran into the test 
administrator at the P.O. one morning & asked about it.  His reply 
was "why do you care? You were just doing it for the exercise, weren't 
you?" But I got it in the mail a couple days later.  And I have a 
Diploma from the University of Hard Knocks, an honorary from the wife's 
alma mater.

Its been quite a ride, all these years.  Some sad parts of course, but 
impressing the frogs, carving pricy wood or making a machine run by 
linuxcnc, and now caring for that wife in the last year that COPD might 
yet give her, all combines to keep me out of the bars.

You do what you have to do...

You got me curious -- apparently phagocytosis was named in 1880.  But
yes, systemd seems to be attempting to subsume all other daemons, and is
pretty worrying for that reason...

In my opinion, most of the bad press that systemd gets is down to its 
implementation, rather than its purpose. Writing an init system that 
spawns shell scripts to start daemons is easy, but the shell scripts 
lead to all sorts of bad code. The declarative syntax of 
systemd/upstart/etc init systems is MUCH cleaner.

Similarly, writing the syslog to a plain text file is easy, but it makes 
parsing times difficult, it can lose some of the finer points of meaning 
and so on. A binary format is, really, nothing to be feared, so long as 
the format is as well defined as plain text (because, when you look at 
it, plain text IS binary, it's just an astoundingly well-agreed 
encoding).

The binary format underlying plain text does have one additional
noteworthy characteristic, though: it is intended to map *directly* to
something that is, in theory, human-readable. The glyphs which are being
encoded are simply letters, numbers, et cetera; these are almost
universally recognized, and once the trivial translation from binary
form for display is completed, if you don't understand what the result
means you at least have something on which you can base searches and
questions.

With any other binary format, you have to either have the
domain-specific knowledge necessary to understand the meaning of the
glyphs which were encoded into the binary format, or let something which
*does* have that understanding - generally, a specialized tool - perform
an additional layer of translation after translating from binary form
into those glyphs. Only after that can you realistically start to put
together searches and questions if you don't understand the result.
(Barring the sort of people who are sufficiently technically competent
to be able to reverse-engineer file formats in a clean-room environment,
which is a relatively rare skill.)

IMO that's a meaningful additional layer of burden.


Plus, having a *single* format to use for interchange has the advantage
that you only need to have *one* set of tools on hand to translate its
encoded form into the glyphs being represented; if multiple formats
exist, you need to either have the tools for each of them on hand, or be
able to do the work of translating in your head on the fly every time,
which is nontrivial in most cases.

Very few - if any - formats other than plain text are sufficiently
general to be suitable for use for every conceivable
thing-to-be-represented, without needing to be extended for the purpose
(with a corresponding extension of the translating tools). Admittedly
that's because plain text lets you implement other encoding systems on
top of it (from the various human languages, to e.g. INI-file format, to
things like uuencoding, and so forth), but there the fact that the
immediate superficial readability lets you start to form meaningful
questions and searches comes in again; if there's any other file format
which enables something comparable, I'm not finding myself able to think
of it.

That is very informative.  In particular:

I need to make sure that I have that forwarding propery configured on my
systems.

Then also:

That does seem quite useful and from what I have experienced the last
few days nicely handles the case where something that should log to
syslog calls a command and then ignores its stdout/stderr.  The systemd
journal was seeing that stderr text where syslog was not.

I finally got around to updating the wiki page today.  Here is the link
for those who wish to have it as a reference or perhaps would like to
contribute to further improving it:

https://wiki.debian.org/resolv.conf

I also made a comment to https://bugs.debian.org/860928 regarding the
temporary files that dhclient leaves cluttering /etc if the mv to
/etc/resolv.conf fails (e.g., because it is immutable).

I also filed https://bugs.debian.org/879949 as a wishlist bug to have
dhclient-script include a header comment in /etc/resolv.conf.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the thread.

Regards,

-Roberto

Weird wiki. From "my issues" (sic) down it switches from third to
first-person narration by what I suspect is a Germanophone and all hell
breaks loose (grammatically speaking).

It's a wiki. That tells you something. ("someone else apart from me
can do it" is not your response, if you choose to give one).

My response is two venerable hot-shots from this very forum ventured
into that rather short wiki within the last 24 hours, made edits,
advertised them here, but couldn't be bothered to fix the fucking thing
and as a lesser mortal amongst you high-falutin sons of bitches I
figured it must not be worth the effort (to fix).

So there. Find a convenient lake, B., and go jump in.

Thank you.

Over and out.

Well.  The question is whether to delete that section, or to leave it
in place.  There is no urgent need to delete it, because it is not
factually *wrong*.  It's simply someone's anecdotal experience.

Likewise, there's no reason to correct the grammar.  The grammar and
the shell commands are both awkward and unpolished.  Fixing the grammar
and leaving those awful shell commands unchanged would give the mistaken
impression that those shell commands are actually good.  The way it's
written now, anyone who reads English semi-fluently can tell that it's
an anecdotal appendix, and not a preferred solution.

If you feel that it's better to delete the whole section, then that's
your call.  My preference is to leave content in place wherever possible,
unless the content is wrong, misleading, full of errors, etc.  For all
I know, "Debian 8.8.4.4" may be someone's google search terms that lead
them to this page.  Once they get to the page, then they can read about
the issues and the various ways to achieve their goal.

Yes, the supersede directive works.  I believe that the error I had in
my configuration was that the supersede lines were listed after the
request line, but they needed to occur prior to the request line.  This
seemed rather unintuitive to me.
