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.
This is apparently needed on system which keep nameservers specified
in /etc/resolv.conf even when there is no network connection. Should be
used with care as invalid names will be retried forever.
GNU readline recently changed license to GPLv3+ which makes it
incompatible with chrony (GPLv2). This patch adds support for editline
library (BSD license).
The attached patch adds support for mlockall() as well as the SCHED_FIFO
real-time scheduler. It should result in reduced (and more consistent)
latency. Usage is documented in all the documents.
Attached is a patch adding a linux capabilities support to chronyd. It
adds -u option which can be used to specify the user which chronyd
should switch to.

I tried to compile chrony-1.21 on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE & 5.4-RELEASE.
I modify two files, configure, sysinc.h.
configure:
add label "FreeBSD-i386" to "BSD/386" line
sysincl.h:
1. FreeBSD obsoletes alloca.h
2. FreeBSD use stdlib.h instead of malloc.h, to use malloc(), free()
Attached file includes the above modifications.
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.
