In gutsy, no error displayed. After configuring dhcp and restarting the service, I started a thin client which booted ok and ran several applications. After a server reboot, shcp had not restarted.
I attempted to start it manually thus: "/etc/init.d/dhcp-server start" (noquotes) The response: "dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file. The error was: " (noquotes and no actuall error) no entries were generated in syslog by this event. /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server already contains "/usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -t -cf $CONFIG_FILE 2>&1| sed '1,4d'" (noquotes) reverted to : "/usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -t -q -cf $CONFIG_FILE" (noquotes) Displayed error: "The error was: drop_privileges: could not set group id: Operation not permitted" (noquotes) Thus a perfect reproduction of dougfractal's result -- dhcp3-server init script fails to show problem in configuration file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
