I re-installed the neutron node from scratch, with neutron 2:16.0.0~b3~git2020032420.a0e1b5804e-0ubuntu2
Now neutron-common postinst does chmod 0750 /var/lib/neutron which makes the dhcp files unreadable: Mar 27 20:36:15 network dnsmasq[6218]: failed to load names from /var/lib/neutron/dhcp/53519892-89b9-42cc-be0d-413938ed5230/addn_hosts: Permission denied Mar 27 20:36:15 network dnsmasq[6218]: cannot read /var/lib/neutron/dhcp/53519892-89b9-42cc-be0d-413938ed5230/host: Permission denied Mar 27 20:36:15 network dnsmasq[6218]: cannot read /var/lib/neutron/dhcp/53519892-89b9-42cc-be0d-413938ed5230/opts: Permission denied ubuntu@network:~$ sudo ls -la /var/lib/neutron/dhcp total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 neutron neutron 4096 Mar 27 20:35 . drwxr-x--- 8 neutron neutron 4096 Mar 27 20:35 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 neutron neutron 4096 Mar 27 20:36 2dd85a27-8ea0-4656-b872-6d2008e298c3 drwxr-xr-x 2 neutron neutron 4096 Mar 27 20:36 53519892-89b9-42cc-be0d-413938ed5230 ubuntu@network:~$ cat /var/lib/neutron/dhcp/53519892-89b9-42cc-be0d-413938ed5230/host cat: /var/lib/neutron/dhcp/53519892-89b9-42cc-be0d-413938ed5230/host: Permission denied After changing /var/lib/neutron/ to mode 755 (or 751) dnsmasq works fine again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866187 Title: dnsmasq needs access to /var/lib/neutron/dhcp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/neutron/+bug/1866187/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
