[stork-users] Permissions to access files

[Slawek Figiel]

Hello Christoph,

Please ensure the system user that runs the Stork agent (by default 
`stork`) is a member of the `_kea` group.

When installing the Stork from packages, the Stork user is created and 
added to this group if it exists. I suppose you installed Stork first 
and then Kea on the second machine. There was no Kea group to which the 
Stork user could be added because it was created only during Kea 
installation.

Regards,
Slawek Figiel
