I installed KVM/libvirt on a new F30 installation. 

Surprisingly, 2 instances of dnsmasq are launched: 

[root@base ~]# ps -ef  |  grep  dnsmasq 
dnsmasq   1531     1  0 11:33 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq 
--conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf 
                        --leasefile-ro 
--dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper
root      1533  1531  0 11:33 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq 
--conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf 
                        --leasefile-ro 
--dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper
root      2450  2391  0 11:39 pts/2    00:00:00 grep --color=auto dnsmasq


The second instance is not connected to any port.

[root@base ~]# netstat  -tulpn  | grep  dnsmasq 
tcp        0      0 192.168.122.1:53        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
1531/dnsmasq        
udp        0      0 192.168.122.1:53        0.0.0.0:*                           
1531/dnsmasq        
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:67              0.0.0.0:*                           
1531/dnsmasq      

And I can kill the second instance without any harm I noticed yet. 


Is that second instance intended behaviour for some reason? Or is it used for a 
function I didn’t notice yet?

Can someone reproduce that behaviour? Is it a bug of my installation? 


Thanks
Peter
