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

[Stuart Maclean <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a long shot, since chrony may not work in the same way as ntp, 
but when I had similar issues with ntpq exiting unexpectedly, turns out 
I didn't have these lines

ntp 123/udp

ntp 123/tcp

in /etc/services

If you re-run chronyc unders trace, do you see it trying to open that file?

I think the idea is to have a level of indirection, using that file, so 
that ports don't have to be hard coded in the sources.  Seems like 
overkill to me.
