nivlac, 'nobody' is a poor choice: the intended use of user 'nobody'
(and group 'nogroup') is for NFS.
If daemons start using 'nobody' (or 'nogroup') then they can interfere
with the proper operation of NFS or other daemons that also use 'nobody'
(or 'nogroup').
Thanks

You received this bug
DNSMASQ runs as user nobody per design of dnsmasq devs.
from the manpage:
-u, --user=
Specify the userid to which dnsmasq will change after startup. Dnsmasq must
normally be started as root, but it will drop root privileges after startup by
changing id to another user. Normally this user is
still unfixed in 16.04 LTS.
