        That's a fairly old snapshot, have you tried on anything newer?

            Does /var/run/dhcpleases.pid exist? And is it the right process ID?

                ps uxawww | grep `cat /var/run/dhcpleases.pid`

                        So you have found a side affect of disabling dnsmasq for Unbound. Will chat to the devs about this.

                          I have the same problem on actual RC-1 snapshot:

                          The /var/run/dhcpleases.pid exists.

                          Do you need further information ?
                          Pleas let me know!

                          Thanks in advance

                            This is an issue with unbound package more than with dhcpleases.

                              I do not use unbound package.

                              If I remeber correct, I used it in the past but it is uninstalled since several snapshots and reboots.

                                  Can you show:
                                  ps -ax | grep dns
                                  ps -ax  | grep dhcp

                                  Also the contents of the 2 pid files
                                  /var/run/dhcpleases.pid
                                  /var/run/dnsmasq.pid

                                      This is using unbound, not dnsmasq.

                                        that's an unbound problem.

                                        please contents of pid files.

                                            Any progress on this?

                                            I'm running 2.0-RC1 and my log file is full of this error.

                                            Not sure if it's causing any problems as my clients are still receiving leases, but it comes up frequently in the log.
