dhcpd-4.3.6 works only when launched with -f or -d flag

[m.madej]

Hello

I try to run dhcpd on my wifi network. I build it using Yocto and here are a versions of my built system:

kernel: 4.14

dhcpd: 4.3.6

bind: 9.10.6-r0

everything is running on cortex a5 core (sama5d27 processor)

When i run dhcpd manually with -d or -f option (debug or foreground) everything seems to work fine. But when dhcpd is started as daemon it does not work at all.

I run strace and it seems it hangs on: "futex(0xb6913098, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL"

I found a bug with similar behaviour here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1551855 but as i understand it should be fixed in version i use.

Does someone have any idea?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Mariusz Madej

So how are you starting dhcpd as a daemon.  Systemd?

What does the command line look like?
[0:root@bb8 ~]$ ps aux | grep dhcpd

Hi,

So how are you starting dhcpd as a daemon.  Systemd?

I start it from console so far, just without -f and -d flags(it goes background then). I have a plan to launch hotspot from my own configuration tool later.

What does the command line look like?

/usr/sbin/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

dhcpd.conf file looks like this:

# cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   range 192.168.5.10 192.168.5.100;
   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
   option broadcast-address 192.168.5.255;
   option routers 192.168.5.4;
   option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 1.1.1.1;
   option domain-name "mydomain.org";
}

If you try running form the command line with --user and --group options
does it work? eg

/usr/sbin/dhcpd -f -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -user dhcpd -group dhcpd

See when it runs as a daemon it includes the --user and --group files?
Check that user dhcpd can write to the leases file, the directory where
the leases file is and the appropriate log file.

I have the exact same problem and I am also using yocto. I think it is not a
permission issue, since I tried to give all permissions by setting all the
files and dirs to 777 and, in a second test, I ran dhcpd as root and neither
test was successful.
Additionally I recognized that if I run with '-f', htop shows me 3
additional threads.

Kind regards,
Peter Fischer

In my case, no.

I confirm, permissions to 777 and dhcpd as root does not change anything

No, it is a custom linux that I built with yocto.

Do you think running as a daemon it drops privileges and then can't get to the
configuration and leases files?
