<p class="MsoPlainText">I’m running dnsmasq on an Android Gingerbread platform acting as a wifi Access Point. When dnsmasq starts up I get the following<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">init: untracked pid 2407 exited<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I suspect it has something to do with dnsmasq changing its user id because if I run it with dnsmasq –d then I don’t get this behaviour. Among other things the –d option causes it to not change user Id. The dnsmasq process is still running
however and seems to behave so I’m unsure if this is really an error. Here's the snippet of the 'ps' output, the pid of dmsmasq is always 1 higher than the pid in the message.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Having google'd this a bit it looks like an Android specific issue but there is no definite explanation as to what can cause it.<o:p></o:p></p>
