Client/server is better.

Depends on your requirements. See the entries in NEWS between 4.2 and
4.5 to decide if it's worth the trouble to compile from source.

Plain NTP, NTP protected by symmetric keys, and NTP protected by NTS
can all be mixed in one configuration.

Symmetric keys are simple to configure:
- chronyc keygen 100 > /etc/chrony/chrony.keys
- copy the key file to the other machines
- add "key 100" to the server's specification in chrony.conf on all
  machines
- restart chronyd
- done

SV: SV: [chrony-users] Output from chronyc sources -v

2024-01-25 Thread Henning Svane
Hi

Thanks for your reply.

I have 4 local NTP Servers running Chrony 4.2 on Ubuntu 22.04
The idea was they work as a team. 
In the configuration they communicate as servers but I have thought I would 
prefer to use Peer, but when I read the documentation, I am unsure if this is 
the best way.

I can see the current version is 4.5 but the version coming with Ubuntu 22.04 
is 4.2.2, will you suggest to upgrade to version 4.5.

You mention that it is not a good praxis to mixing authenticated and 
unauthenticated NTP sources, will it be sufficient to use a key file or do I 
need to upgrade to NTS. Is it possible to setup chrony to respond both to NTS 
and til NTP?

Regards
Henning

This output shows some sources combined.

These two are not combined because their root distance (11+13ms) is too large 
when compared to the best source (1.6+2.2ms).

These sources are ignored because they are not authenticated and not more 
accurate than the best authenticated source. It's better to avoid mixing 
authenticated and unauthenticated NTP sources.
