Chrony for Debian
-----------------
Notes about Debian-specific changes:
- Default chrony’s configuration files are located in the /etc/chrony directory.
It is filled by two important files:
→ chrony.conf (configuration of the chronyd daemon, see man 5 chrony.conf
for further information)
→ chrony.keys (lists keys used for NTP packets authentication, see
the “keyfile” directive in the chrony.conf(5) man page)
- We also provide /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/chrony and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/chrony
to put chronyd online/offline depending on the PPP link status.
- Since version 1.31.1-1, we create the _chrony system user to which chronyd
will drop root privileges on initialisation. For users already allowing
chronyd to drop root privileges in favor of the user configured by the "user"
directive in chrony.conf, your configuration will remain unchanged and will
still work as it did. However, if you don’t want to deviate from Debian’s
default configuration, delete or comment out the "user" directive in
chrony.conf and recursively change the owner of the /var/lib/chrony and
/var/log/chrony directories. For example:
# sed -i 's/^user/#user/' /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
# chown -R _chrony:_chrony /var/l{ib,og}/chrony
