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? -- Regards, Troels Arvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://troels.arvin.dk/ _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
