I believe this is working as designed: one process is the parent of the other:
$ sudo ps -C dnsmasq -ocomm,euid,uid,pid,ppid,args | cat COMMAND EUID UID PID PPID COMMAND dnsmasq 118 118 2815 1 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper dnsmasq 0 0 2816 2815 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper BTW, 'nobody' is strictly reserved for NFS use. If any processes run as user 'nobody' then that process would have undue influence over NFS.
