Package: network-manager Version: 1.8.0-5 Severity: normal I just noticed that NM has a plugin model where I could define something like dnsmasq as a plugin. When using it as a plugin, I noticed that my dnsmasq configuration settings were being ignored.
Upon further looking, I see: nobody 17406 0.0 0.0 53856 4124 ? S 18:42 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --no-resolv --keep-in-foreground --no-hosts --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.pid --listen-address=127.0.0.1 --cache-size=400 --clear-on-reload --conf-file=/dev/null --proxy-dnssec --enable-dbus=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq --conf-dir=/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d NM asks dnsmasq to only look into its separate configuration directory. Is this intentionally being done ? Adding my dnsmasq settings at this location makes things work again. Since NM spawned dnsmasq is using the system-wide port, should it not also honor dnsmasq's system-wide settings ? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.10.17+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii dbus 1.10.20-1 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libaudit1 1:2.7.7-1+b1 ii libbluetooth3 5.43-2 ii libc6 2.24-12 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.52.1-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.52.3-1 ii libgnutls30 3.5.13-2 ii libjansson4 2.9-1 ii libmm-glib0 1.6.8-1 ii libndp0 1.6-1+b1 ii libnewt0.52 0.52.20-1+b1 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.27-2 ii libnm0 1.8.0-5 ii libpam-systemd 233-9 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-18 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-18 ii libpsl5 0.17.0-4 ii libreadline7 7.0-3 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b2 ii libsystemd0 233-9 ii libteamdctl0 1.26-1+b1 ii libudev1 233-9 ii libuuid1 2.29.2-1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii policykit-1 0.105-18 ii udev 233-9 ii wpasupplicant 2:2.4-1 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii crda 3.18-1 ii dnsmasq-base 2.77-2 ii iptables 1.6.1-2 ii iputils-arping 3:20161105-1 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.3.5-3 ii modemmanager 1.6.8-1 ii ppp 2.4.7-1+4 Versions of packages network-manager suggests: pn libteam-utils <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf changed: [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile dns=dnsmasq [ifupdown] managed=false -- no debconf information
