Hi Andrei Thanks for the confirmation/reply.
I will wait for the official update (as the system is running just fine) Regards, Ronald ________________________________ From: Kea-users <kea-users-boun...@lists.isc.org> on behalf of Andrei Pavel <and...@isc.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 10:38 To: kea-users@lists.isc.org <kea-users@lists.isc.org> Subject: Re: [Kea-users] ConfigurationDirectory 'kea' already exists but the mode is different. (File system: 750 ConfigurationDirectoryMode: 755) Hi, Ronald! We recently became aware of this warning too. It should not prevent Kea from functioning properly if you leave it as-is. The proper way to get rid of the message is to add "ConfigurationDirectoryMode: 750" to the "[Service]" section, although you may want to wait for an official update to the systemd file. Unrelated, if you're running on a Debian-based system, uninstalling and installing Kea 2.6.3 does result in a more serious error that prevents reinstallation. dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: unknown system user '_kea' in statoverride file; the system user got removed This can be resolved with "dpkg-statoverride --remove /etc/kea" before installing again. We are working to address both of the issues and we'll likely provide new Kea packages for all affected versions this week, although there is no official decision yet. Thank you for the report and sorry for any inconvenience!
