- a feature test macro is needed to get msg_control in struct msghdr
- variables must not be named sun to avoid conflict with a macro
- res_init() needs -lresolv
- configure tests for IPv6 and getaddrinfo need -lsocket -lnsl
- pid_t is defined as long and needs to be cast for %d format
Follow the removal of the server authentication support and remove also
the client support. The -a and -f options are now silently ignored to
not break scripts. The authhash and password commands print a warning,
but they don't return an error.
Allow multiple hostnames/addresses separated by comma to be specified
with the -h option. Hostnames are resolved to up to 16 addresses. When
connecting to an address fails or no reply is received, try the next
address in the list.
Set the default value for the -h option to 127.0.0.1,::1.
If the specified hostname starts with /, consider it to be the path of
the chronyd Unix domain command socket. Create the client socket in the
same directory as the server socket (which is not accessible by others)
and change its permission to 0666 to allow chronyd running without root
privileges to send a reply. Remove the socket on exit.
Call connect() on the socket to set the remote address and switch from
sendto()/recvfrom() to send()/recv(). Setting the IP_RECVERR option no
longer seems to be necessary in order to get ECONNREFUSED errors.
Add a signal handler and rework the code to go through close_io() even
when terminated by a signal. This will allow chronyc to remove Unix
domain sockets on exit.
The second form configures the automatic stepping, similarly to the
makestep directive. It has two parameters, stepping threshold (in
seconds) and number of future clock updates for which will be the
threshold active. This can be used with the burst command to quickly
make a new measurement and correct the clock by stepping if needed,
without waiting for chronyd to complete the measurement and update the
clock.
The minsamples and maxsamples directives now set the default value,
which can be overriden for individual sources in the server/peer/pool
and refclock directives.
A new option can be now used in the pool directive: maxsources sets the
maximum number of sources that can be used from the pool, the default
value is 4.
On start, when the pool name is resolved, chronyd will add up to 16
sources, one for each resolved address. When the number of sources from
which at least one valid reply was received reaches maxsources, the
other sources will be removed.
