Title:
  Incorrectly trying to create tempfile in root directory

Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At startup the server tries to create a temp file in the root
  directory. Thanks to apparmor this is denied, but the error is (I
  think) silently ignored. In /var/log/syslog there is a message like
  this:

  Mar 23 08:39:17 rotte kernel: [7160216.658291] audit: type=1400
  audit(1490254757.814:114): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod"
  profile="/usr/sbin/dhcpd" name="/tmp-jwdb31E5jQ" pid=20431
  comm="dhcpd" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=119 ouid=119

  Notice name="/tmp-jwdb31E5jQ".

  I'm using the DHCP server in combination with LDAP and bind9 in a
  FreeIPA setup. But other than that I believe there is nothing special
  about it.

  In the DHCP source code I couldn't find any code that creates a
  tempfile like this, but in bind9 in lib/isc/unix/file.c there is code
  that fits. Perhaps the DHCP server indirectly uses that code.
