RE: [chrony-users] chronyc always exits 0 without any output

should have thought of that. I didn’t see any logs about it, but sure enough, I rebooted the server into permissive mode and did an autorelabel and chronyc works now.

Have any of you tried setting SELinux into permissive mode?

Does chronyc run as root ok? But not as a normal user?

I had an issue something like that with a different distribution of Linux, but I recall it taking longer to return - like it was timing out on something. Try temporarily disabling the firewall on the computer and see if that changes the behavior. If that works, then maybe you need to open the port in the firewall?

Is chronyd actually running?
ps auxww|grep chronyd |grep -v grep

That is very strange. Even if chronyd is not running it should start up.

"some calls" is a bit vague.
Does
chronyc -d
give you any hints?
