Update. This *SEEMS* to make it happy. /etc/chrony/chrony.keys Make it look something like this: 1 testchrony 2 MD5 HEX:B028F91EA5D93D06C2E140B26C7F41EC 3 SHA1 HEX:1DC764E07B1911FA67EFC7ECBC4B0D73F68A070C The password is behind #1. You also need this file set up too. /etc/chrony/chrony.conf This is the key part: # Tell chronyd which numbered key in the file is used as the password # for chronyc. (You can pick any integer up to 2**32-1. '1' is just a # default. Using another value will _NOT_ increase security.) commandkey 1 Should be able to just uncomment the thing. Restart chrony, or I guess you could tell it to reload the config, then test again. root@fireball / # chronyc password Password: 200 OK root@fireball / # Now let's see if I get a email with a error next week. o_O Dale :-) :-)
