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.
