log status of ntp-signd connection (!3) · Merge requests · chrony / chrony

Jeremy Jackson requested to merge edgecase141/chrony:log-signd-status into master Oct 03, 2023

I spent longer than I should have today due to a typo in the config file. The message given in syslog was misleading, "MS-SNTP authentication enabled", even though it was failing to connect to Samba AD DC. Although there are DEBUG level logging statements for this issue for developers, I feel this INFO level message is more helpful for sysadmins. It now shows configuration errors, and gives an idea about connection to Samba which it depends on, immediately at startup.

Tested on Debian Bullseye x86_64 with Samba 4.13.13 and Windows 7 ntp client.
