network manager - DNSMASQ - Why is this running? - Ask Ubuntu
so, poking around htop, , looked @ processes running. reason, process called dnsmasq running. full command is
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --no-resolv --keep-in-foreground --no-hosts --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/networkmanager/dnsmasq.pid --listen-address=127.0.0.1 --cache-size=0 --conf-file=/dev/null --proxy-dnssec --enable-dbus=org.freedesktop.networkmanager.dnsmasq --conf-dir=/etc/networkmanager/dnsmasq.d
the question is: getting hacked? normal? did sudo apt-get remove --purge dnsmasq
said wasn't installed. user ran nobody
because that's network manager uses cache dns locally. it's dnsmasq-base
. version of package doesn't include server-start-up scripts dnsmasq
package does.
if being hacked, has nothing it. it's standard ubuntu.
