Missing attachment. I think we'll need to warn users about the change some way or other otherwise they'll lose their existing lease db and could end up issuing conflicting leases. Though I wonder how this works at all t the moment because there's a "touch dhcpd.leases" in the rc script which would create it owned by root if missing...
