The problem is that the initialization script that is run as root and not dhcp user 'touch'es its .leases file and thus sets its run permissions as root >How-To-Repeat: compile isc-dhcpd with 'paranoia' option enabled. Try to aquire an address on a client machine via dhcp. The ip address will not be available, and a new entry will not be added to dhcp.leases file >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
