According to the comment in the file ("Whether or not to run the dnsmasq daemon; set to 0 to disable"), ENABLED should control if the dnsmasq daemon is run at startup, not if the init script is totally disabled, so I tend to agree with the reporter.
In particular, running "/etc/init.d/dnsmasq status" would always return 0 if ENABLED=0... and that means "started". ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Confirmed -- disabling dnsmasq in /etc/default/dnsmaq disables init.d script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
