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!
