resolvconf-admin

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!

Installing resolvconf-admin command is simple. just copy one of the above commands for your operating system and paste it into terminal. This command is available for Debian, Ubuntu and Kali operating systems. Once you run the command it will install the latest version of resolvconf-admin 2026 package in your OS.
