resolv.conf

[David Douthitt]

We have a resolv.conf which looks like this:

nameserver 10.1.1.1
nameserver 10.1.1.2
domain our.domain
search our.domain
search our.domain2

options: timeout: 15
options: attempts: 5

Cfengine (2.0.4 on Linux for Intel 586) repeatedly gives the following 
warning:

cfengine: Deleted line options: attempts: 5 ended with a space in 
/etc/resolv.conf.
cfengine: The resolver doesn't understand this.

However, the resolver is just fine with this.  There is also NO space 
after the 5; I suspect it's complaining about the space after 
"attempts:".

Note that CFEngine is editing the resolv.conf file to put these options 
in: so it complains, removes the line, then it gets added again.  I 
wonder if this also affects options: timeout: 15.
