There might be two separate issues. Does the Debian package override the default location of the pidfile? Since 3.4 it should be in /var/run/chrony (or /run/chrony). When chronyd dropped the root privileges, it couldn't remove a file in /var/run (or /run). Previously the failure to remove the file produced only a debug message. Now it's an error syslog message. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-dev-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
