Who starts up dnsmasq on CentOS 6?
 

Hello:
On CentOS, a process dnsmasq is always up and running after reboot:
nobody 2412 1 0 08:20 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases --dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override

Which scripts starts it up ?
Thanks.

Hi,

you can turn dnsmasq off with chkconfig dnsmasq off && service dnsmasq stop
the script is located in /etc/init.d/

you schould read the man pages from chkconfig and service commands.

Hi,
I do not find any start up script on /etc/rc*.d which starts up dnsmasq...
Only find the kill script K50dnsmasq.
Thanks.

hm ok maybe this is the dhcp server, have you also dhcpd started?

Hi,
# chkconfig dhcpd --list
error reading information on service dhcpd: No such file or directory

And there is no /etc/dhcpd.conf file. No /var/lib/dhcpd directory either.
Thanks.
