Re: [chrony-users] Regarding socket permissions

[Morten Nissov <morten.c.nissov@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you really need to, you can change the permissions in the
service/init script after starting chronyd. Instead of setting it to
0666 it might be better to instead change the owner to the user
running your application.

Is there a material difference in performance using SHM vs socket? My understanding was maybe, as SHM polls.. If there is no significant difference then I don't really need sockets.
