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

[Gabriele Tozzi]

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)
