Hello,

I generally try to minimize the number of daemons running on my servers, 
especially daemons listening on network sockets.

On a (dom0-)server set up for running paravirtualized Xen guests, I find 
that something starts dnsmasq after boot, even though the service has 
been turned off (with chkconfig).

I tried removing the dnsmasq package, but it seems to be required by the 
libvirt package (which I assume is rather important on a dom0 
installation). Hence, my guess is that it's some Xen script/daemon which 
starts dnsmasq.

Turning off dnsmasq, and then restarting the xen guests doesn't seem to 
be a problem.

My questions:

 - Under which circumstance(s) is dnsmasq important for running
   xen guests?

 - Can I somehow prevent xen from starting dnsmasq, now that
   a "chkconfig --level 345 dnsmasq off" doesn't help?
