Bug ID: 27992
Summary: Allow users to overrride DNS servers
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: bugzilla at hadess dot net
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
It would be very useful to allow for end-users to override nsswitch.conf (at
least for the hosts database), and /etc/resolv.conf too, so we can avoid
horrors like this LD_PRELOAD hack:
https://github.com/hadess/resolvconf-override
One could say that the reason why those configuration files are system-only is
for security reasons, but as visible here, LD_PRELOAD hacks, and user-space
implementations of old-school DNS, or DNS over HTTPS already exist that negate
that security angle.

Make that:

I moved the project recently.
