    Dnsmasq, could this be a problem/security risk ?

    I've intalled the latest firmware release from Oleg 1.7.5.6-2.

    On the log i found this after boot:

    Jan 1 00:00:23 WL500g daemon.warn dnsmasq[525]: failed to drop root privs

    I'm asking because i really don't know if this is ok or not, but sounded like it could be an error ou security risk.

    Is it ok ?

    Thanks
    Pete

    For now this is left as is and is mostly ok and expected. Probably this will be fixed in the future.
