[chrony-users] gpsd:ERROR... Permission denied

["Charles Muggen" <BeamPower@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to setup chronyd with gpsd on a Raspberry Pi Model 2 running Raspbian Jessie.

I'm getting a continuous stream of errors in my var/log/syslog:

Feb  5 19:32:51 raspberrypi gpsd[610]: gpsd:ERROR: device open failed: Permission denied - retrying read-only
Feb  5 19:32:51 raspberrypi gpsd[610]: gpsd:ERROR: read-only device open failed: Permission denied
Feb  5 19:32:51 raspberrypi gpsd[610]: gpsd:ERROR: /dev/pps0: device activation failed.

What could be causing the error?
