Hi Mircea I can see we have a local patched version that also removes --disable-ntp, and also adds systemd support, run as non-root user, version bump, authentication support option and custom start option. > That is commit bd721be68 (Michael Olbrich 2018-06-02) and I was > wondering, is it chrony used so much without NTP functionality that by > default it was considered a good idea to be disabled, or what could be > the reason behind this ?

I should probably put together some patches with our local changes. /Bruno _______________________________________________ ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de To unsubscribe, send a mail with subject "unsubscribe" to ptxdist-request@pengutronix.de
