Double checked with several devices connected with static leases. Nothing else than the following content in my dhcpd.leases file...
cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases gives : # The format of this file is documented in the dhcpd.leases(5) manual page. # This lease file was written by isc-dhcp-4.3.3 server-duid "\000\001\000\001\037@\213\210\000PV\213\320+"; -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to isc-dhcp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186662 Title: isc-dhcp-server fails to renew lease file Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in isc-dhcp source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: After raring upgrade, the dhcp server fails to renew lease file when it tries to (about every hour). 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.
