--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.5-3+deb9u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, After a reboot I found isc-dhcp-server wasn't running because dhcpd was started before named wrote out session.key (included for ddns). I have ddns enabled with the following included in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf include "/var/run/named/session.key"; I see /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server has $named listed in Should-Start, but apparently that's not sufficient with systemd, I expect dhcpd takes less time to start compared with the multiple domains named is serving on the system. # Should-Start: $local_fs slapd $named I added the following loop to the default file, I'm not sure the best way to properly handle this. /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server # delay watching for the session.key file to appear from named for ddns include="/var/run/named/session.key" i=0 while [ "$1" = "start" -a $i -lt 30 -a ! -e "$include" ] ; do echo "waiting on $include" i=$(($i+1)) sleep 1 done unset include i Here are the relevant parts of the system log file showing dhcpd not finding session.key, then a second later named starts.
