Source: resolvconf-admin Section: net Maintainer: Daniel Kahn Gillmor Build-Depends: pandoc, debhelper-compat (= 13), Standards-Version: 4.7.3 Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/resolvconf-admin Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/resolvconf-admin.git Homepage: https://github.com/dkg/resolvconf-admin Package: resolvconf-admin Architecture: any Depends: adduser, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Recommends: resolvconf, Enhances: resolvconf, Description: setuid helper program for setting up the local DNS resolvconf-admin deals with setting the local DNS information, which needs to be done by root on some systems. For example, it should enable a non-privileged DHCP client to add information about DNS resolvers it discovers. . If /sbin/resolvconf is present, it is invoked as root with the recommended data. If it is not present, then /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten with a simple file. . Note: setuid binaries like resolvconf-admin are additional attack surface on your system. If you can use a different approach, such as enabling systemd-resolved, you should probably prefer it. . DO NOT INSTALL THIS PACKAGE (or any other with a setuid binary) IF YOU DO NOT NEED IT!
