13.2.2. Understanding chronyc
The chrony daemon, chronyd
, can be controlled by the command line utility chronyc. This utility provides a command prompt which allows entering of a number of commands to make changes to chronyd
. The default configuration is for chronyd
to only accept commands from a local instance of chronyc, but chronyc can be used to alter the configuration so that chronyd
will allow external control. chronyc can be run remotely after first configuring chronyd
to accept remote connections. The IP
addresses allowed to connect to chronyd
should be tightly controlled.
