Hi Eloy!

I just updated the patch at 

  http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/dhcp3.deroot-client.diff
 
to fix Ubuntu bug #10803. The PID file was (sometimes) written after
dropping the privileges, which produced a "dhclient: Can't create
/var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid: Permission denied". The updated patch
always writes the PID file before dropping the privileges.

To make this more robust, I also fixed up the old pid file handling a
bit, will followup to #178885 soon.

Can you please forward the updated patch to upstream? I tried to post
to their mailing list, but they have a rather restrictive policy
for non-subscribers.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Martin
