Is there maybe a nicer way to tell dnsmasq to *not* read the global
configuration file?
Ah, I hadn't read up in the source code to that part.
It's completely unnecessary:
dnsmasq --conf-file
suppresses reading the default configuration file. Just stop adding the
junk filename (which never did anything, anyway) and dnsmasq will no
longer complain.
Perfect, thanks for your input. Seems like the way to go then.
Just to be sure: Can I rely on dnsmasq --conf-file to work on versions< 2.57?
You can.
Is there a minimum version when this behaviour was introduced?
There must be and I'm not sure exactly which it is, but I just checked
2.39 which is four years old, and this behaviour was in then.
I can only assume Dan added this hack (back then) for a reason.
My guess is that it arises from unclear documentation rather than lack
of functionality.
Cheers,
Simon.
