I installed KVM/libvirt on a new F30 installation.
Surprisingly, 2 instances of dnsmasq are launched:
[root@base ~]# ps -ef | grep dnsmasq
dnsmasq 1531 1 0 11:33 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf
--leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper
root 1533 1531 0 11:33 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf
--leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper
root 2450 2391 0 11:39 pts/2 00:00:00 grep --color=auto dnsmasq
The second instance is not connected to any port.
[root@base ~]# netstat -tulpn | grep dnsmasq
tcp 0 0 192.168.122.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1531/dnsmasq
udp 0 0 192.168.122.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 1531/dnsmasq
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 0.0.0.0:* 1531/dnsmasq
And I can kill the second instance without any harm I noticed yet.
Is that second instance intended behaviour for some reason? Or is it used for a function I didn’t notice yet?
Can someone reproduce that behaviour? Is it a bug of my installation?
Thanks
Peter
