dhcp3-server init script has these lines:
chown dhcpd:dhcpd /var/lib/dhcp3 /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases
if [ -e /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases~ ]; then
chown dhcpd:dhcpd /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases~
fi
However if you don't have dhcp3-server installed /var/lib/dhcp3
permissions are following:
$ ls -ld /var/lib/dhcp3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-05-01 11:37 /var/lib/dhcp3
This prevents dhclient to update leases file after dropping the
privileges.
Proposed fix attached.
