Comment(by atma@…):

 Hello fellow geeks,

 I've lost several hours trying to make dnsmasq work using launchd at start
 but apparently I was not able too. I use (as everyone should I think) the
 /opt/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf file for dnsmasq configuration. Most people I
 think that will not be satisfied by cli arguments on dnsmasq. So here is
 my .plist:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
 <plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
         <key>KeepAlive</key>
         <false/>
         <key>Label</key>
         <string>org.macports.dnsmasq</string>
         <key>ProgramArguments</key>
         <array>
                 <string>/opt/local/sbin/dnsmasq</string>
                 <string>-d</string>
                 <string>-8</string>
                 <string>/dev/null</string>
                 <string>-f</string>
                 <string>/opt/local/etc/dnsmasq</string>
         </array>
         <key>RunAtLoad</key>
         <true/>
 </dict>
 </plist>

 When launchctl tries to start it at boot time gets the following error:
 Oct 11 17:22:43 localhost dnsmasq[30]: unknown interface en0
 Oct 11 17:22:43 localhost dnsmasq[30]: FAILED to start up
 Oct 11 17:22:43 localhost launchd: org.macports.dnsmasq: exited with exit
 code: 2
 Oct 11 17:22:43 localhost launchd: org.macports.dnsmasq: 9 more failures
 without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal

 which is ... hard to understand after all:

 devo:~ root# ifconfig
 <snip>
 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         inet6 fe80::211:24ff:fe76:7e9e%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
         inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
         ether 00:11:24:76:7e:9e
         media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
         supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>

 <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback>
 </snip>

 This system is running Tiger 10.4.11 and latest macports. The patch of
 course was applied (you can see this from the plist file, it does not call
 for other files... as the previous version).

 Maybe this is okay under Snow Leopard and/or Leopard but tiger still has
 issues. Any ideas on this?
