After some discussion with Miroslav Lichvar I've found a chrony.conf that works for me on my 32-bit 2-core Atom. This is it: pool pool.ntp.org iburst server ntp0.zen.co.uk iburst server ntp1.zen.co.uk iburst driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift makestep 1.0 3 allow 192.168.1/24 mailonchange [email protected] 0.5 rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc rtconutc The installation-default file causes the start-stop-daemon to catch an unexpected interrupt and report an error, even though the chronyd process continues to run. Any time I run 'strace -ff -o/tmp/chronyd.strace /etc/init.d/chronyd start' the init process runs normally and I'm left with scores of trace files, none of which help because the stray interrupt wasn't detected. So I'm left with a setup that works for me but leaves what looks (to me) like a timing problem unsolved. I'll report back if I hear any more. -- Rgds Peter
