I am running some tests on i686 with the 2.6.38 kernel - and like you I find that dnsmasq is running despite it being off under chkconfig. I find that it is started after NetworkManager has started up during boot in the messages log: Mar 31 19:37:33 lapmike3 dnsmasq[2237]: started, version 2.52 cachesize 150 Mar 31 19:37:33 lapmike3 dnsmasq[2237]: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt DBus no-I18N DHCP TFTP Mar 31 19:37:33 lapmike3 dnsmasq-dhcp[2237]: DHCP, IP range 192.168.122.2 -- 192.168.122.254, lease time 1h Mar 31 19:37:33 lapmike3 dnsmasq[2237]: reading /etc/resolv.conf Mar 31 19:37:33 lapmike3 dnsmasq[2237]: using nameserver 10.0.0.1#53 Mar 31 19:37:33 lapmike3 dnsmasq[2237]: read /etc/hosts - 2 addresses However like you I don't know what is starting dnsmasq or why it needs to be running at all. I am going to turn it off and then shutdown - and see if I get any delay - I also have ntpd running so I will report back once I have turned off and rebooted. Interestingly I am on a 10.0.x.x network so why dnsmasq is looking at 192.x.x.x I have no idea! -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
