Could you have some kind of (misconfigured) SELinux (or equivalent)
blocking the access? I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, but SELinux would log
to something like /var/log/audit/audit.log on Redhat systems at least.

Assuming it's SELinux, what does "ls -Z /var/lib/dhcp" say? Does running
"setenforce 0" as root help you start the daemon? (Enable it again with
"setenforce 1".)

And by the way: Don't make the file world writeable (0666) unless you're
looking for security related trouble. Default 0644 is fine, and you
could even remove world read if you wanted.
