[Bug 776945] Re: Apparmor results in denying operation mknod for isc-dhcp-server

[koppor]

I have the issue with last week's isc-dhcp-server, ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

That package uses /var/run/dhcpd.run and does NOT use the sub-directory
/var/run/dhcp-server (as claimed by Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)).

The solution for me was to add a symbolic link (as root):
ln -s /var/run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid /var/run/dhcpd.pid
Now everything works fine!

Title:
  Apparmor results in denying operation mknod for isc-dhcp-server

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: isc-dhcp-server

  I have isc-dhcp-server installed , i have configured  the needed
  /etc/dhcpd.conf file but when i try to execute

  #dhcpd

  it results in 
  can`t create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid :Permission denied.

  My syslog suggests me apparmor is denying the operation.

  #tail -f /var/log/syslog
