[Unit] Description=A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server [Service] Type=dbus BusName=uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq # Test the config file and refuse starting if it is not valid. ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --test # Enable DBus by default because we use DBus activation. # # Drop privileges and become the 'dnsmasq' user. It is recommended by dnsmasq # upstream to run dnsmasq as an isolated user that does not run any other # processes, owns no files and has no shell. The default 'nobody' user has a # shell and might be used for other processes. # # Debian-specific: add /etc/dnsmasq.d to config search path (with the exception # of .dpkg-*). Packages such as libvirt leave config files there. # # --pid-file without argument disables writing a PIDfile, we don't need one.
