I believe you are mistaking two things here: the dnsmasq executable on the one hand, and the operating system use of dnsmasq on the other hand. The dnsmasq project only provides the dnsmasq executable. It does not provide the scripts that the "service dnsmasq start" or "service dnsmasq stop" commands will run. These scripts are part of the operating system, and may actually vary from distribution to distribution. For instance, dnsmasq *never* edits the /etc/resolv.conf file -- this is a system change which only the system can perform in a consistent way. To understand what "service dnsmasq *" does on your system, you should refer to the documentation of the distribution you are using. > Thanks & Regards, > > Rahul Jain Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
