Use the standard systemctl commands to stop it, disable it, and mask it. Or do as Greg Wollege suggested, and remove it. > > 2.

Why does the installation start both bind and > dnsmasq? Because the people packaging them know *nothing* about what you are up to. They assume (not unreasonably) that if you install their package you must want to run it. but beyond that they neither know nor assume anything. The libvert packages require dnsmasq, so if you are running virtual machines, that's how you got dnsmasq. I have no idea why you have bind9 installed. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
