I have another few bugs:

1. /var/log/maas/oops/ is not writable by the maas user
2. /var/lib/maas/dhcp/ is set to be root-owned by the upstart script,
which means the dhcpd cannot re-write the leases file when it starts up.
3. The dashboard page does not show the pie chart at all for me, does it
work in the QA lab?
4. I've seen the pserv traceback and then fail to serve anything at all,
however I have a feeling that it went catatonic because of #1 above as
after I fixed the permissions it has not failed since.
