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 + + -- Vincent Blut <vincent.debian@free.fr> Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:44:32 +0100 |
