After setting up Chrony, and reading the docs, I am still unable to get Chrony to update my time.
So I decided to use Chronyc with the accheck <url> command, and I am getting 209 Access denied commands on all the Stratum 2 servers I am trying to contact. Yes I have inputed my Chronyc passwd like the docs says, with Chronyc password. According to http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2b.html, these are supposed to be Stratum 2 servers with public access. There is a note on some of the listings that suggest to drop them a notification if you use their servers. I would like to use accheck to verify the server is talking to Chronyd, I would also like to find the closest ntp server that is working. But so far no luck, I have the default .conf file using the pool.ntp.org addresses, like this. The only thing I changed was the online from offline, because I use DSL, and my computer is always on. server pool.ntp.org online server pool.ntp.org online server pool.ntp.org online Also in my daemon.log file I am getting these remarks. Sep 21 22:15:59 localhost chronyd[3413]: Unrecognized subcommand at line 14 Sep 21 22:15:59 localhost chronyd[3413]: Unrecognized subcommand at line 15 Sep 21 22:15:59 localhost chronyd[3413]: Unrecognized subcommand at line 16 Which correspond to the ntp server lines in the chrony.conf file. Also if I ping some of the servers on the stratum2 lists, and even the pool.ntp.org I get 100% packet loss. In the FAQ it did mention that if you are behind a firewall you might have to open some ports. Why would this affect ping? I can ping, and traceroute any other address, but why not the ntp servers addresses? Also if I use chronyc and activity, and sourcestats all are empty. chronyc> activity 200 OK 0 sources online 0 sources offline 0 sources doing burst (return to online) 0 sources doing burst (return to offline) chronyc> sourcestats 210 Number of sources = 0 Name/IP Address NP NR Span Frequency Freq Skew Std Dev ======================================================================== chronyc> sourcestats -v 210 Number of sources = 0 .- Number of sample points in measurement set. / .- Number of residual runs with same sign. | / .- Length of measurement set (time). | | / .- Est. clock freq error (ppm). | | | / .- Est error in freq. | | | | / .- On the | | | | | / samples. | | | | | | Name/IP Address NP NR Span Frequency Freq Skew Std Dev ======================================================================== Yes I have restarted chronyd a few times, using init.d chronyd restart, I even went to init 1 to make double sure everything would startup fresh. I know some of you might just suggest using my ISP DNS servers. I might have to, but I would like to get this NTP server thing a fair shake. Yes I have waited a few hours just in case the cron jobs did not update chronyd. Oh I am using Debian Testing/Sarge with current updates.
