Hi maintainer,
This is a rather unfortunate bug. As can be seen from the manpage,
"Generally, the directives can occur in any order in the file and if a
directive is specified multiple times, only the last one will be
effective. Exceptions are noted in the descriptions."
One of the potentially many configurations an end-user may need to adjust
is makestep, which is configured almost last in chrony.conf.
All VM's for instance, will need to customise that, so makes sense to
drop into /etc/chrony/conf.d/vm.conf:
# ensure chrony doesn't bail if vmware gains or loses too many ticks
makestep 1 -1
Well that's unfortunate, isn't it? I now need to manually munge /etc/chrony/chrony.conf of all of my generations of VMs. And anything
else I've customised, I need to keep track of which of my machines are VMs and which are not.
I just verified this *isn't* an upstream bug, with upstream not having included a confdir directive at all. It's also not fixed in 4.6.1-1 in unstable.
It will be fixed soon.
It would be extremely nice to have this fixed for trixie. It's
unfortunate that chrony is a regression over what we had with NTP, given
it is the claimed replacement of NTP and NTP fixed this issue 20 years
ago.
Don't use it, then!
