Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.45-1 Severity: wishlist Hi, libvirtd uses dnsmasq to provide DNS and DHCP to virtual machines on nated interfaces. It therefore calls dnsmasq for each virtual bridge with something like like:
dnsmasq --keep-in-foreground --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file --conf-file --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --except-interface lo --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dhcp-default.leases --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 In Debian's standard installation this fails with: dnsmasq: failed to bind listening socket for 192.168.122.1: Address already in use since dnsmasq binds the wildcard address. A possible solution is to pass the options "interface=lo & bind-interfaces" to the "default" dnsmasq process started via /etc/init.d/dnsmasq [1]. This could be fixed by passing "--conf-dif=/etc/dnsmasq.d/" per default to dnsmasq. Libvirft could then put the necessary interface,bind-interface options there (maybe prompting via debconf if this should be done). Possibly other packages could make use of this too. Does this sound reasonable? -- Guido [1] See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504605 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
