Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186662 Title: isc-dhcp-server fails to renew lease file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1186662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
