This is incorrect. Dnsmasq is started as root and opens the leases file before dropping root privileges, so the status of the leases file for writing by user dnsmasq is irrelevant. It does not require any config file entries for dnsmasq to run with leases file in the default location. > I'd suggest introducing > /var/lib/dnsmasq which should be owned by dnsmasq and adding that > folder as default location for leases and such.
