[Bug 1186662] Re: isc-dhcp-server fails to renew lease file

[Dominik]

It seems to me, that the leases file is created as root after startup and then the user of the processs changes to dhcp or whatever. I have to approve this yet.
Kind regards.

Bug description:
  After raring upgrade, the dhcp server fails to renew lease file when
  it tries to (about every hour).

  The syslog says:
  dhcpd: Can't create new lease file: Permission denied

  It looks like a permission problem, because

  # chown -R dhcpd:dhcpd /var/lib/dhcp

  the above command temporarily solves the issue, until dhcpd is
  restarted: at that time, the ownership of the directory and the lease
  file is set back to root:root.
