Hallo, Paul,

Du meintest am 23.01.09:

I've just run "dnsmasq --help", and the (huge) output also shows the  
option "-l" with the explanation

"Specify where to store DHCP leases (defaults to /var/state/dnsmasq/ 
dnsmasq.leases)".

Shows your Fedora output another path? Then the path is defined per  
distribution related compile option.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
