DNSMASQ runs as user nobody per design of dnsmasq devs.
from the manpage:
-u, --user=<username>
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 "nobody" but that can be
over-ridden with this switch.
