Hi Mike,

I was just wondering what the reason was for choosing to create a
lxc-dnsmasq user? If I read the dnsmasq man-page right, it will
normally drop privileges and switch to user 'nobody', so was there some
reason 'nobody' was a problem?

Just asking as it would be simpler if lxc didn't have to create/delete
the additional lxc-dnsmasq user in the distro packaging. Thanks.
