In the chronyd man page the -Q option states "it allows chronyd to be started without root privileges"
However, when I use the -Q option to check the syntax of my chrony.conf file I am getting a fatal error when I try to add a refclock to my configuration. refclock SOCK /var/run/chrony.clk.tty.usbserial-1420.sock offset 0.5 delay 0.1 refid GPS bryan@number9 ~ % /usr/local/sbin/chronyd -Q -f /etc/chrony.d/chrony.conf 2023-03-31T21:49:47Z chronyd version DEV[4.3-71-g0189dac] starting (+CMDMON +NTP +REFCLOCK -RTC +PRIVDROP -SCFILTER +SIGND +ASYNCDNS +NTS +SECHASH +IPV6 -DEBUG) 2023-03-31T21:49:47Z Disabled control of system clock 2023-03-31T21:49:47Z Fatal error : Could not open socket /var/run/chrony.clk.tty.usbserial-1420.sock When I run as root it works fine, but is at odds with the documentation.
