You need to uncomment the next line too - the one that specifies what to |
| 10 |
log. Remember that an exclamation mark is a comment marker in |
| 11 |
chrony.conf. |

Nope. Just switch logging on, as above. If you have your syslog to |
| 16 |
output to VT12 you can read its log output there. In my case I use |
| 17 |
syslog-ng with the default config and VT12 switched on. |

Haven't a clue, but I do remember shuddering at the complexity of |
| 22 |
configuring ntp, years ago. From reading this thread I get the impression |
| 23 |
it hasn't improved much since then. |

Here's my chrony.conf, minus comments; gate.ethnet is my gateway box: |

Incidentally, chronyd logs a "cannot open" error the first time it tries |
| 47 |
to write to a log or dump file; it seems to be harmless. |

HTH. I'm delighted you got something working! |
