Package: dnsmasq
Version: 2.45-1+lenny1
Severity: important
When running dnsmasq command with command line arguments, specifying a
custom pid file does not work if one types '--pid-file /path/to/pid'.
It does work if one types '-x /path/to/pid'. It also works if one types
'--pid-file=/path/to/pid'. The program runs fine when executed with
''--pid-file /path/to/pid' but it does not create the pid file.
While this does not pose an operation problem, if one executes the
command with one set of options in one style, they would likely specify
the options consistenly. That is, if they use an equal sign for one
option they would likely use them for other options, but if they don't
use them for one they would likely not use them for others.
However, it seems that some options do not work with an equal sign, such
as --server, --dhcp-range, --port. dnsmasq quits with an error about
command line arguments. So one must use an equal sign with --pid-file
(or use the short form -x) but not with --server/--port/etc.
