Following up on the comments from bugzilla about reloading
configuration.
chronyd cannot easily support reloading its configuration (e.g. due to
losing root privileges), but it could have a directive specific to NTP
sources. The files could be reloaded on request from chronyc. It would
basically reimplement the logic from the chrony-helper script, which
would became redundant.
A dispatcher script would just create or remove a *.sources file in a
directory (e.g. /var/run/chrony-dhcp) specified in chrony.conf and a
chronyc command would tell chronyd to add the new sources and/or
remove sources that are no longer there.
All sources would be visible in chrony.conf. No need to set a PEERNTP
variable to disable the servers from DHCP.
I'll see what it would take to implement such directive.
