[ptxdist] Chrony has NTP capability disabled by default, why ?

[Mircea Ciocan <m.ciocan@ppc-ag.de>]

Dear ptxdist developers (and especially Michael O.),

we've had a head scratching session today, we've tried to use chrony as 
a NTP server and for a number of hours was failing miserably, until 
we've discovered that by default the NTP is disabled via 
"non-bypassable" compilation switches given in the rule file, that is 
"--disable-ntp", making it mostly useless :( .

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 ? Am I missing something obvious here ?

And also, for the people that uses chrony as a replacement for the old 
ntpd, could we at least have a configuration switch/variable, defined in 
the next version, to select this functionality if needed ?


Thank you and best regards,

Mircea
