Can someone please confirm my understanding of this issue? a) Ubuntu has configured dhcpd to drop root privileges b) Ubuntu has added logic to dhcpd.conf to force the ownership of dhcpd.leases to root:root c) Ubuntu is managing the ownership (and permissions?) of the directory in which dhcpd.leases lives, keeping it as root:root
We at ISC are not really clear what we're supposed to do with this.

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.
