Hi all,

As of today (using v2.6.3) I see this odd message in the log
ConfigurationDirectory 'kea' already exists but the mode is different. (File system: 750 ConfigurationDirectoryMode: 755)


I was first triggered because something has changed in the socket-name. We used to have it set to /tmp but apparently this is not valid anymore and should be set to /var/run/kea.
All fine by me 🙂

But the message ConfigurationDirectory 'kea' already exists but the mode is different. (File system: 750 ConfigurationDirectoryMode: 755) unknown to me. Ofcourse I could set the mode but because of security we do not want to set the other user bit(s)

Any other way to get rid of this message?

DHCP seems to be running fine.

Regards,

Ronald
