1. I have lts.conf

admin-ltsp5 at ubuntu-ltsp5:~$ cat /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf
[default]
SEARCH_DOMAIN=ubuntu-ltsp5
DNS_SERVER=192.168.1.1
admin-ltsp5 at ubuntu-ltsp5:~$

2. I can ping and use names in chroot.

admin-ltsp5 at ubuntu-ltsp5:~$ ssh root at 192.168.0.200
root at 192.168.0.200's password:

root at ltsp200:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search ubuntu-ltsp5
nameserver 192.168.1.1
root at ltsp200:~#


3. But. I can't use names in thin client's Konqueror. Ip numbers works.

4. if I touch /etc/resolv.conf, Konqueror works with names.

root at ltsp200:~# chmod 755 /etc/resolv.conf

root at ltsp200:~# ls -al /etc/resolv.conf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43 2002-01-08 23:22 /etc/resolv.conf
root at ltsp200:~#

----

So to me problem is that /etc/resolv.conf in chroot still is wrong - it 
has now right lines inside it, but users can't read it in thin client side.

I do have now three different kind /etc/resolv.conf files. Only c works.

a. Empty and unreadable

---------- 1 root root 0 2002-01-08 22:57 /etc/resolv.conf

b. Full and unreadable

---------- 1 root root 43 2002-01-08 23:22 /etc/resolv.conf

c. Full and readable

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43 2002-01-08 23:22 /etc/resolv.conf
