Subject: /etc/resolv.conf: "search ." means "disable search path"
Some systems automatically set the DNS search path based on the system
host name: remove the first label and use the remaining domain name as
the DNS search path (a single element).
It seems that on those systems, adding
search .
to /etc/resolv.conf mostly works for disabling the default search path
(empty search path). Any objections if we declare this as the official
way of disabling the search path?
Thanks,
Florian
