[Bug 776945] Re: Apparmor results in denying operation mknod for isc-dhcp-server

[Wolfgang Fahl]

My network configuration fails on the same pro problem and the symbolic link
ln -s /var/run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid /var/run/dhcpd.pid

workaround does not work for me.

I consider this bug *very* severe. I can't use any network features without runing a manual fix afer *every* single boot
I am mostly using Windows 7 now so this a follow up of bug #1 of Ubuntu!

Title:
  Apparmor results in denying operation mknod for isc-dhcp-server

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: isc-dhcp-server

  I have isc-dhcp-server installed , i have configured  the needed
  /etc/dhcpd.conf file but when i try to execute

  #dhcpd

  it results in 
  can`t create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid :Permission denied.

  My syslog suggests me apparmor is denying the operation.

  #tail -f /var/log/syslog
