Package: chrony

Hi,
I recently took a spike of activity on Chrony in Ubuntu with some
testing and checking older bugs on it. There are Ubuntu only changes
(like custom time servers), but some might qualify to be considered
for Debian as well.
So I wanted to open bugs for each of them to be discussed.
We currently have a merge proposal up for Ubuntu at [1], and I'll link
the fixes that are currently in review for you directly per-topic.

That’s great, thank you.

In case we modify the fixes due tot he review I'll keep you updated.

Description:
With the recent apparmor profile - when enforcing - I happened to find an issue.
From logs:
chronyd[3443]: Could not change ownership of /run/chrony : Operation
not permitted
chronyd[3443]: Could not access /run/chrony : No such file or directory
chronyd[3443]: Disabled command socket /run/chrony/chronyd.sock

After a few wrong assumptions :-) I found that this would be
created/chowned by chrony itself

Indeed, the whole logic can be found in util.c.

, but the apparmor caps do not allow it yet.
With that missing it won't be able to spawn the unix command socket
for privileged commands.

As I told you privately, nice catch as that was quite subtle!
I will release 3.2-3 with this fix included during the weekend hopefully.
