Public bug reported:
dhcpd fails to run as an unprivileged user; this is particularly an
issue when wanting to syntax-check the config file.
Reproducing:
$ dhcpd -t -cf /dev/null
Expected results: dhcpd checks configuration file (/dev/null used here)
and reports errors encountered.
Actual results: dhcpd outputs:
drop_privileges: could not set group id: Operation not permitted
and exits with status 255.
