I don't usually use capabilities, and guessed that change after browsing the docs. Now that I look at my init files, I see this: 520-north:~# grep "setcap " /etc/init.d/* /etc/init.d/kea-dhcp4-server: setcap "cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw=+ep" $DAEMON /etc/init.d/kea-dhcp6-server: setcap "cap_net_bind_service" $DAEMON /etc/init.d/kea-dhcp-ddns-server: setcap "cap_net_bind_service=pe" $DAEMON I registered at Debian Salsa Gitlab in order to review the patch, but it seems to take time. (sorry to bother you again with that sysv-init topic) Never mind. Thank you for taking care Ale

Hi, thank you, Alessandro Vesely, for spotting the missing setcap flags. I must have forgetten adding these after copying from the systemd service file. I made https://salsa.debian.org/debian/isc-kea/-/merge_requests/64 to fix that. Would you be so kind to review the changes, Paride Legovini? (sorry to bother you again with that sysv-init topic) Regards, Stefan
