Hi Corby, In addition to Carsten's note, I would point out this line which is sort of attached to the previous line (perhaps due to copy/paste):
Oct 01 06:12:45 access-dhcp1 systemd[1]: Stopping isc-kea-dhcp4-server.service - Kea DHCPv4 Service... You say no one performed this command. If this is Ubuntu, I would check for "unattended upgrades" package: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/software/automatic-updates/ as this service WILL unexpectedly restart services. Generally speaking, unattended upgrades are a very bad idea because things may break during an update and a human needs to be in attendance so that they might be fixed in a timely fashion (actually, upgrades should first be tested in a lab environment if you want to be really safe). Thank you, Darren Ankney On Fri, Oct 3, 2025 at 6:43 PM Corby Stephens via Kea-users < [email protected]> wrote: > I brought this up previously with no response.
