Re: [PATCH v2] Do not use /etc/resolv.conf symbolic links on SELinux

When SELinux is enabled, do not create a symbolic link to a "resolv.conf"

This is to avoid creating policy permissions to read files in the other
non-standard "resolv.conf" directories for each application that needs to
access the network.

Hi,

the patch seems to reimplement what rc-manager=file already does, with
the difference that the patch will hardcode a behavior at build time
when HAVE_SELINUX is set.

Can't you simply set 'rc-manager=file' in NetworkManager.conf to
achieve the same result? If you prefer you can also have that option
enabled by default by building NetworkManager with

  ./configure --with-config-dns-rc-manager-default=file
