[Kea-users] Stork agent cannot read Kea control agent socket

[Jason Creviston]

We finally noticed, shortly before your email came in, that we're having issues with comms as well. Did some service restarts, as well as upgrading the stork agents on the server. Stork working-ish, but still having issues (retrieving HA status, for example).

Hello all,



After the recent Stork update my Stork agent can no longer work with the Kea control agent to read the DHCP server state. Every time I restart the Kea DHCP4 service it recreates the socket with the default permissions and Stork fails. When I manually update the permissions on run/kea/kea4-ctrl-socket to 660 everything works again, but only till the next restart.



Has anyone else seen this or now how to permanently fix it?



Thanks,

Uwe Jasper
