• Here I am again...

    From Flavio Bessa@4:80/1 to All on Sun Jan 30 14:28:11 2022
    Hello,

    Ok, here I am with some new JAMNNTPD questions.

    I have been playing around with raspberry pi, and would like to try to use jamnntpd with it.

    I was able to donwload it and install using apt-get install jamnntpd, and it
    is now running as a service into my system.

    Question is: How do I generate a config file for it, and where should it be located?

    Regards,
    Flavio

    jamnntpd -create /etc/jamnntpd.config

    Debian/Ubuntu also has /etc/default/jamnntpd

    IIRC you have to comment out the DAEMON_ARGS line or it will override the options in /etc/jamnntpd.config

    I never noticed that default file... Just commented out DAEMON_ARGS line. I see nothing different. Well, it says: "# Additional options that are passed to the Daemon." So nothing additional. :)

    I run Jamnntpd on Linux (Ubuntu) only in this rpi2 test system.

    If you have the same option in jamnntpd.config and in /etc/default/jamnntpd, the one in DAEMON_ARGS line is used. See my origin line.

    /etc/jamnntpd.config:
    -origin "Birds aren't real"

    /etc/default/jamnntpd:
    DAEMON_ARGS="-origin DAEMON_ARGS"

    Args? What args? Pirate country?

    I've only ever used an original config; I never knew about the a-a-g-s. :)

    I did? Oh yes, I remember now. :)
