There are a number of things that need to be addressed with the isc- dhcp-server package. I think I've worked through most of the issues, based on items here & ones I've researched; maybe the maintainer or someone else could review this?
1) /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server needs to be updated to enable several env variables & include one more: diff -Nru /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server isc-dhcpd-4.2.4/isc-dhcp-server.default --- /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server 2015-06-19 17:32:49.849591118 -0400 +++ isc-dhcpd-4.2.4/isc-dhcp-server.default 2015-06-19 17:17:36.537576347 -0400 @@ -7,10 +7,13 @@ # # Path to dhcpd's config file (default: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf). -#DHCPD_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf +DHCPD_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf + +# Path to dhcpd's leases file (default: /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases). +DHCPD_LEASES=/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases # Path to dhcpd's PID file (default: /var/run/dhcpd.pid). -#DHCPD_PID=/var/run/dhcpd.pid +DHCPD_PID=/var/run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid # Additional options to start dhcpd with. # Don't use options -cf or -pf here; use DHCPD_CONF/ DHCPD_PID instead @@ -18,4 +21,4 @@ 2) /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf sources the default isc-dhcp-server file, but does not include the correct env variable to find dhcpd.conf. It should also set the extended file attributes as mentioned earlier. Finally, it should use the env variables defined in the default isc-dhcp-server file when starting the service: diff -Nru /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf isc-dhcpd-4.2.4/isc-dhcp-server.conf.init --- /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf 2014-04-03 17:51:15.000000000 -0400 +++ isc-dhcpd-4.2.4/isc-dhcp-server.conf.init 2015-06-19 18:38:04.661654434 -0400 @@ -13,22 +13,17 @@ fi . /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server - if [ -f /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf ]; then - CONFIG_FILE=/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf - else - CONFIG_FILE=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf - fi - if [ ! -f $CONFIG_FILE ]; then - echo "$CONFIG_FILE does not exist! - Aborting..." - echo "Please create and configure $CONFIG_FILE to fix the problem." + if [ ! -f $DHCPD_CONF ]; then + echo "$DHCPD_CONF does not exist! - Aborting..." + echo "Please create and configure $DHCPD_CONF to fix the problem." stop exit 0 fi - if ! dhcpd -user dhcpd -group dhcpd -t -q -4 -cf $CONFIG_FILE > /dev/null 2>&1; then + if ! dhcpd -user dhcpd -group dhcpd -t -q -4 -cf $DHCPD_CONF > /dev/null 2>&1; then echo "dhcpd self-test failed.
