Hi everyone.
I have managed to seamlessly set up my Debian machine as a PTP master using the
following command :
# ptp4l -f /etc/linuxptp/ptp4l.conf &
And here is /etc/linuxptp/ptp4l.conf (I used the default one, tweaked some
options and added my network interface in the end) :

There is no problem with it this way. Now I would like to start ptp4l as a
service using :
# service ptp4l start
It outputs nothing to stdout (as expected), and neither to /var/log/messages.
ps aux | grep ptp4l outputs nothing, and when I check journalctl I get the
following :
# journalctl -u ptp4l
Oct 19 13:13:27 GLenovo-Debian systemd[1]: Started Precision Time Protocol

state.
Oct 19 13:13:27 GLenovo-Debian systemd[1]: ptp4l.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.
Whatever the modification I tried in the config file, I could it never start as
a service, only through the ptp4l command.
Am I missing something ? Maybe I am not looking in the right log file ? I am
using the latest linuxptp package from the debian repository.
Here is some info about my system :
Hardware : Lenovo Thinkpad T410
# uname -a
Linux GLenovo-Debian 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08)

# ethtool -T enp0s25
Time stamping parameters for enp0s25:

Thanks in advance for your help !
