[Bug 489726] Re: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied

[Carl Davis]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ebox-dhcp
  
  Hi all,
  
  I have notice that ebox-dhcp in armic doesn't work properly.
  When enabling the module I see the error: dhcpd: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied.
  
  Is this a known error? Or do I need to change something.
  
  Regards,
  H2T

+ ***************************************
+ WORKAROUND
+ 
+ You can follow these steps to allow for the creation of the pid at
+ /var/run
+ 
+ Open gnome-terminal and type:
+ 
+ sudo gedit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd3
+ 
+ and add
+ 
+ /var/run/dhcpd.pid rw,
+ 
+ below the '/var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid w,' line.
+ 
+ Save and close the file and in gnome-terminal type:
+ 
+ sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart
+ sudo touch /var/run/dhcpd.pid
+ sudo chown dhcpd:dhcpd /var/run/dhcpd.pid
