=== I keep getting the error +501 Not authorised+
Since version 2.2, the +password+ command doesn't do anything and +chronyc+
needs to run under the root or chrony user, which are allowed to access the

needs to run locally under the root or _chrony_ user, which are allowed to
access the +chronyd+'s Unix domain command socket.

directive).
