[Xen-devel] dhcp problem with vif-nat

[Anup Patil <anup.p@xxxxxxx>]

I am using nat for guest domU with dhcp running on dom0.

on creating the domU xend-debug.log reports:
Can't open /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf: Permission denied
and dhcp fails.

The vif0.X is created and the dhcp.conf is modified according to the
randomly generated mac address and the address of vifx.0. 
I think the problem lies in the vif-nat script in synchronization during
dhcpd.conf modification. Restart(start) of the dhcp server fails and the
failure is ignored. 

With the following change the creation of domain rightly fails. But does
not solve my problem.

Any ideas to debug this ?
