Bug Description

Observed this in garage MAAS syslog:

Apr 5 08:50:18 maas dhcpd: Can't create new lease file: Permission denied

Where would those leases be created, and what are the consequences for not having them?

Urgh, I've never seen that before. Packaging is responsible for ensuring directory permissions so I'll re-target.

I saw this too yesterday. The dhcpd.leases file is owned by root:root, the dhcpd daemon runs as dhcp (which isn't a problem as long as it has an open file handle), but the directory /var/lib/maas/dhcp is root:root.

I changed the directory permissions to dhcpd:dhcpd and restarted maas's dhcpd, but a day later it's all back to root:root.
