Thanks, Ken. You are correct on the config file. Unfortunately /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper is an ELF compiled executable. It has no man page. I hesitate to just up and run it. If dnsmasq has a leases file anywhere, I haven't found it. This may be because dnsmasq is called with --leasefile-ro, which will "Completely suppress use of the lease database file." This requires the dhcp-script to maintain the leases internally. In other news, I rebooted another bookworm system, and its virtual network came up without issue. Some comparisons are in order. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
