Yo All! I pulled git head, running it now on a server in place of chronyd.
Seems to work OK. I'll keep an eye on it. A couple things I note right away, consider them non-critical feature requests. I really like the chronyd socket interface over the SHM one. The user is not playing with magic numbers. 'ntpq -p' is user hostile compared to 'chronyc sources'. chronyc adds units to the display, so you do not have to keep referring to them manual, and it makes it easy to deal with jitter and delay that varies by orders of magnitude. So, instead of this: remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== -india.colorado. .NIST. 1 u 33 64 377 79.023 -11.071 10.247 140.142.16.34 .INIT. 16 u - 256 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 +clepsydra.labs. .GPS. 1 u 28 64 377 26.473 15.307 4.261 +catbert.rellim. .GPS1. 1 u 31 64 377 0.200 22.061 6.440 -SHM(0) .GPS. 0 l 45 64 377 0.000 151.500 15.858 *SHM(1) .GPS1. 0 l 44 64 377 0.000 20.870 7.680 +131.107.13.100 .ACTS. 1 u 25 64 337 14.746 18.469 6.634 I see this: dagwood ~ # chronyc sources 210 Number of sources = 11 MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample =============================================================================== #- SHM0 0 4 377 19 +119ms[ +119ms] +/- 501ms #- SHM1 0 4 377 21 +276us[ +276us] +/- 13us #* SOC2 0 4 377 22 +260us[ +291us] +/- 24us #?

And last, but not least, ntpd takes way, way, way longer to converge than chronyd. Which is why on the fly reconfiguation in ntpd is SO important. Last thing you ever want to do is restart ntpd. Right now, after 10 mins, ntpd has 2,000 times the jitter as chronyd had when I turned it off. RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
