[Bug 39249] Re: (Dapper) can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: Permission denied

[Alain EMPAIN]

Hello,

I got the same problem with Hardy Heron Server 64b, with the same observation :
  Apr 29 15:16:21 betula dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: Permission denied

By curiosity, I removed the offending dhclient.eth0.leases file and chmod 777 the /var/lib/dhcp3/ directory to see what will happen :
et voilà, a new file appeared within some minutes :
  -rw-r--r-- 1 dhcp dhcp 443 2008-04-29 15:21 dhclient.eth0.leases

I restored the dhcp3 directory rights;  the problem seems gone away

  Apr 29 15:41:55 betula dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of <null address> on eth0 to 193.190.117.244 port 67
  Apr 29 15:41:55 betula dhclient: DHCPACK of 193.190.117.210 from 193.190.117.244
  Apr 29 15:41:55 betula dhclient: bound to 193.190.117.210 -- renewal in 248 seconds.

Regards,

Alain
