But I haven't found any general advice on "if you hit this problem, do this". I doubt very much I am hitting novel problems. In one sense, there is too much documentation: the nugget I need is buried in a lot of other information. I decided to shelve that for the nonce, and just install kea and see what was generated or installed by way of configuration. I am slowly proceeding with that. I make one change at a time, then "systemctrl reload-or-restart kea-dhcp4-server.service" to test, with journalctl running in another terminal. So it will be slow going. One possible gotcha: I have dnsmasq installed as part of libvirt. It binds to the physical port, which is unnecessary for its mission (the virtual network). I had to hunt that down and shut it off before the kea server would start. libvirt bug? Perhaps a Debian Wiki page is in order? As is a relevant update to the DHCP_Server page. https://wiki.debian.org/DHCP_Server -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
