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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302962 Title: Syslog suggests problem with MAAS DHCP lease file creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1302962/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
