Package: dnsmasq
Version: 2.41-2
Severity: minor
It's left to the imagination what 'dnsmasq.conf.example'
exemplifies; it's wholly comments, and '/etc/dnsmasq.conf' already has
the same comments.
I was searching for specific examples, e.g.: a config file for 'eth0'
to serve DHCP, etc., with which to compare my non-working DHCP, but
no luck. (Trial & error can be difficult given such a feature rich
config file.)
Some minimal examples would be good, with few or no comments for
simplicity. These might include settings for: DNS & DHCP on, one on
with the other off, etc.
To help generate such examples, here's a shell function that filters
out comments and spaces:
nocomment () { grep -v -e '^#.*$\|^[[:space:]]*$' $1 ; }
My system, borked DHCP & all, approximately:
% nocomment < /etc/dnsmasq.conf
domain-needed
bogus-priv
resolv-file=/etc/ppp/resolv.conf
interface=eth0
bind-interfaces
expand-hosts
domain=foo.org
dhcp-range=192.168.1.50,192.168.1.99,12h
dhcp-host=00:04:75:A1:4C:D9,knoppix.foo.org,box.foo.org
dhcp-authoritative
Hope this helps...
