I just noticed this on a Hardy server installation while investigating a network outage. It's apparently unrelated, since this bug has been appearing at least a week (according to syslog), while problems only cropped up today.
I have dhcp3-client version 3.0.6.dfsg-1ubuntu9.1 installed. Syslog entries: ==== Mar 14 13:12:13 style dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of <null address> on eth0 to 128.174.252.4 port 67 Mar 14 13:12:13 style dhclient: DHCPACK of 128.174.236.247 from 128.174.252.4 Mar 14 13:12:13 style dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases: Permission denied Mar 14 13:12:13 style dhclient: bound to 128.174.236.247 -- renewal in 42886 seconds. ==== ==== $ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
