[chrony-users] New system ntp daemon on macOS 10.13

I was just looking through macOS 10.13, wondering why ntpd was not running. Apple seem to have got rid of it and are now using something called timed. I don't know anything at all about it, other than its running (I just enabled it after stopping chronyd) and I think is using the ntpd config

RE: -EXT-Re: [chrony-users] Using symbolic network names in /etc/chrony.conf file?

BTW, Several programs allow one to basically use (in IPV4) the form 10.10.10.10/16 to mean 10.10.0.0/16.I see no issue here as the Systems administrator should be aware of this. As for using the /etc/networksfor the symbolic name that might be fine, however, having an entry in that file

Re: [chrony-users] Using symbolic network names in /etc/chrony.conf file?

My view on this is that host/prefix is a shorthand notation for (ip_address & mask) and that should work for both IPv6 and IPv4. i.e. there is an assumption that people understand how the network and mask are both calculated and used. I have no problem with the ip part being either a name or an

Re: [chrony-users] Using symbolic network names in /etc/chrony.conf file?

When you specify a hostname, that's it. It's a 32bit address (ipv4 of course). Throwing a netmask on it does nothing except specify that your network segment has 64,510 usable addresses. Now if you edit /etc/networks and add mynet 10.10.0.0 then you can use the mynet/16 notation in your
