Arch Linux LXC status outputs

via https://github.com/bunnybooboo/learning-path/blob/master/sandbox/lxc/fresh-start.md
I get the following status output:

Additionally edited the container config file with lxc.net.0.veth.pair = arch-test-001, installed bridge-utils pacman -S bridge-utils, then brctl show outputs:

bridge name	bridge id	STP enabled	interfaces
lxcbr0	8000.00163e000000	no	arch-test-001

Tried setting up another basic dnsmasq:

listen-address=127.0.0.1
port=53
bind-interfaces
pid-file=/var/run/dnsmasq.d

and again the error failed to create listening socket for 127.0.0.1: Address already in use

Switched the listen address to 127.0.1.1 and the error goes away.

AHHHH! Just spotted a file called dnsmasq.conf.pacsave which was using the same listen address. Renamed it and the error stays away if I switch back to 127.0.0.1

Now going back through what I had previously setup, it appears the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dnsmasq#NetworkManager defines creating the connection for dnsmasq. This could be where the duplication comes in. Other people trying to help me have not spotted that as they don't use NetworkManager.

[bunnybooboo]

Meh. There STILL is something overriding these listening settings in dnsmasq.

Switching the bind-interfaces back to bind-dynamic seems to fix. I now, finally, have green statuses for NetworkManager, Dnsmasq, and lxc-net.
