Description

After doing a fresh install of pfsense 2.6.0 on top of Protectli Vault FW4B, everything seemed to be going well.

Then I was trying to make a static mapping for one of my devices. After adding it and restarting the DHCP server, I still saw the old IP getting used, instead of the one I mapped out.

So, I decided to try and hit "Clear all DHCP leases". Everything seemed to go fine.

However, afterwards, it shows 0 DHCP leases. I deleted my static entry and restarted. Still 0 (even though multiple devices are connected).

I tried that old IP that I was changing with my mapping - and the old leased IP for that device was still working. So, DHCP is working, but it's just not showing anything in Status -> DHCP Leases.

Furthermore, I now see these error messages in the associated logs:

dhclient 7753 Cannot open or create pidfile: No such file or director

There were none of these before I hit this button.

Any advice is most appreciated. Otherwise I'm just going to re-install from scratch and pray I never hit that button again.
