After installing Xenial server last week I had problems from the get go with isc-dhcp-server and client. As it is my gateway I have had a great deal of trouble. Your suggestions in comment 37 seem to address them, am waiting to see if my next ISP dhcp renewal leaves me disconnected again. Effected packages for me are 4.4.4-5ubuntu7 and 4.4.4-5ubuntu8.

The syslog says: dhcpd: Can't create new lease file: Permission denied It looks like a permission problem, because # chown -R dhcpd:dhcpd /var/lib/dhcp the above command temporarily solves the issue, until dhcpd is restarted: at that time, the ownership of the directory and the lease file is set back to root:root.
