Hi Shane,
Thanks for the help on this. I thought the username is automatically
created with a group of the same name, as part of user creation.
Is the _kea group not getting created when you installed it? Please let me
know what OS and version you tested on.
I see there is a loop that also set the user and group for all files in
/var/log/kea:
for d in /var/log/kea /var/lib/kea; do
if ! dpkg-statoverride --list $d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
dpkg-statoverride --update --add *_kea _kea 0750 $d*
fi
done
This _kea user is new in 1.5.0, for security, so it is only done for the
debian/ubuntu package installs.
Thanks,
Jason
