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

I am having the exact same problem with a fresh install of 9.04.
Everything worked fine for me with 8.04.3...

I have 2 NICs - one facing the world and one for embedded linux
development - eth1

I installed dhcp3-server

So I have configured eth1 as:
martin at adserver2:/var/run$ ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:01:03:dd:97:fd  
          inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::201:3ff:fedd:97fd/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:56 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:9624 (9.6 KB)
          Interrupt:22 Base address:0xef80 

Next, I edited the file /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and added this at the end:

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
range 10.0.0.20 10.0.0.30;
host tsboard{
}
}

In 8.04, the command:
sudo dhcpd3 -d eth1 would then bring up dhcp on that interface and all was good.

In 9.04, the same command results in:
martin at adserver2:/var/run$ sudo dhcpd3 -d eth1

I have absolutely no idea what to do...

Any thoughts?  Thanks.
Martin.
