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 Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
