I've given up with my solution in #9 as it did not work. I'm still using 14.04 LTS systems and now employ the following fix instead:
service isc-dhcp-server stop setfacl -dm u:dhcpd:rwx /var/lib/dhcp setfacl -m u:dhcpd:rwx /var/lib/dhcp service isc-dhcp-server start Note: For this to work you must have acl support on the root filesystem (assuming that's where /var/lib/dhcp lives on your configuration). This is a matter of adding the "acl" option to the mount line in /etc/fstab. I have been running this for a couple of months now and it seems to do the trick on several servers. Hope it helps someone? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186662 Title: isc-dhcp-server fails to renew lease file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1186662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
