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

            What about:

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

                And what about the dnsmasq.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.

                                        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.

                                          I've got a log full of these now as well… was there ever a fix for this?

                                            I only see this "dhcpleases: Could not deliver signal HUP to process because its pidfile does not exist" message
                                            a couple of times getting logged after an update and during the package reinstall process.
                                            It does not flood my log like previous RC2 and RC3's in combination with the unbound package.

                                            I'm using the last AMD64-RC3 10 September 2011.
                                            packages:

                                            • Squid

                                            • Squidguard

                                            • Unbound

                                            For me it was fixed ages ago.

                                            This is part of my log during/after my last update to the last RC3 build…
                                            7x the DHCP PID message appears and stops after everything is installed and ready.

                                            p.s.
                                            I've manually set "192.168.0.1" into the DNS and default Gateway fields in the DHCP server settings.
                                            And added "192.168.0.1" as a DNS in General Setup. (not using unbound configured as a forwarder)
