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

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.

Just like to add I see this problem too. My dnsmasq service starts as
nobody maybe %20 of the time from a cold boot. And dns forwarding is
broken at this time. Killing the process and restarting the service
usually results in the dnsmasq service starting as dnsmasq like it
should. But alas still
