I just coimpile the 2.33 version on my SuSE 9.0 box and it runs ok... as root… but when I try to use the parameters ‘-u’ and ‘-g’ to change the execution to ‘dnsmasq’ user and ‘dnsmasq’ group, that I created to run this software peace, I see the message “failed to access /etc/ppp/resolv.conf: Permission denied” on syslog.
Probably because /etc/ppp/resolv.conf is no readable by user/group "dnsmasq" - often is doesn't have "all" read permission.
When I start a command line execution with “dnsmasq –u dnsmasq –g dnsmasq –x /var/run/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.pid” the message appears on syslog, but if I execute “dnsmasq –u dnsmasq –g dnsmasq –x /var/run/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.pid -d” (note the “-d”) it works…
in "-d" mode, the chnage of user/group is suppressed, so dnsmasq is still running as root.
Is this a knowing behavior or a bug? What am I doing wrong?
Try finsing the user which owns /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and telling dnsmasq to change to that user..
