Allow different hash functions to be used in the NTP and cmdmon
protocols. This breaks the cmdmon protocol compatibility. Extended key
file format is used to specify the hash functions for chronyd and new
authhash command is added to chronyc. MD5 is the default and the only
function included in the chrony source code, other functions will be
available from libraries.
Require that the ratio of the increase in delay from the minimum one in
the stats data register to the standard deviation of the offsets in the
register is less than maxdelaydevratio or the difference between
measured offset and predicted offset is larger than the increase in
delay. In the allowed delay increase is included also skew and maximum
clock frequency error.
maxdelaydevratio is 10.0 by default.
Instead of following skew changes, adjust polling interval so that the
number of measurements used in the regression algorithm remains close to
a target value. It can be configured with a new polltarget option
(6 by default).
This is to avoid incompatibility between 64/32-bit client/server.
While at it, convert all time values in the protocol to timeval
to avoid Y2K38 problem.
Currently, on multihomed host, when chrony is not bound to a specific
IP address, a query is sent to an interface and the default source IP
hint for the back route differs, the reply will have a source IP
different than where the query was destinied to. This will cause
problems because connection tracking firewalls will drop the replies
and most likely the client program will get confused too.
This patch uses the IP_PKTINFO mechanism to get the IP address where
received packets where targetted to and use that IP address as source
hint when sending a reply.
I tried running chronyd in valgrind and the result was that there are four
places where memory is not initialized. A patch fixing the errors is in the
attachment.

but having it return a double should be fine.
It doesn't actually fix anything, it just shuts up -Wall, so it's certainly an
optional type of patch.
This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import. It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997. If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.
