Howdy, I'm trying to set up a DCHP server, and everything seems to work except for the startup via the init.d/dhcpd file. When I start dhcpd manually from the command line, everything works dandily, but when I use 'init.d/dhcpd start or restart' I get the following error: Can't open lease database /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases: Permission denied Feb 6 13:27:09 friday dhcpd: check for failed database rewrite attempt! How is it that one works and the other doesn't? I've checked that my permisssions for /var/lib/dhcp are set correctly (755) drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 13:31 dhcp and for the dhcpd.leases file (644). -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 466 Feb 6 13:31 dhcpd.leases I even changed the permissions to be 777, and that still didn't work! Any help would be appreciated. -- Oliver Sampson Support Indie Music! olsam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://cdbaby.com/group/MrSampson http://www.oliversampson.com
