Hi, Thank you for all your answer.
So in fact Jochen, even if I need for some reason to handle dynamic change on ntp.conf, you are telling me that it is cleaner and better to restart the daemon ? I am currently putting some modification in my ntp conf file thanks to tr69 protocols. Moreover due to security constraints it is very hard for me to restart the ntp daemon.. It is quite strange that noone try to patch ntp daemon to handle runtime modification on ntp conf. I also tried to use confi-from-file feature from ntpq without success. I add a ntp url in my ntp conf and run ntpq -c config-from-file /etc/ntp.conf. Then I am not able to see my new ntp url by running ntpq -p command. If I am able to create a clean patch to handle runtime modification I will be happy to share it.
