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

[Emmanuel Proust]

Hi,

Not seen your message on the launchpad topic.

I would prefer reply on the topic so that the whole subscribers will be
able to read it.

As a summary : Slackware is not an option for me.

I would choose a more professional distro like Opensuse if I had to replace
*buntu. But my first choice would be that *buntu evolve to be become a
professional and reliable distro.
Cheers

Title:
  isc-dhcp-server fails to renew lease file

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in isc-dhcp source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

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.
