Re: [chrony-users] chronyc serverstats => 501 not autorized

[Gerd Hoerst <gerd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi !

Its v 4.8
/var/run/chrony/chronyd.sock exists
its owned by user:group _chrony:chrony and has mode 755
(dir /var/run/chrony same owner:group but mode 700)
calling chronyc strace ends in:
Could not bind/connect client to unix socket
Unrecognized command

(run as root/su)

Ciao Gerd
