  • chronyc sources not working for normal users

    Posted on

    Hi All,

    Is anyone across the below issue in which the chronyc sources (or other chronyc cmds) are not working from non-privileged users. Although it perfectly works fine from root.

    $ chronyc sources
    506 Cannot talk to daemon
    $ chronyc -d sources
    Resolved 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1
    Resolved ::1 to ::1
    Opening connection to /var/run/chrony/chronyd.sock
    Could not bind socket : Permission denied
    Opening connection to 127.0.0.1:323
    Sent 32 bytes
    Timeout 0.999928 seconds
    Sent 32 bytes
    Timeout 1.999979 seconds
    Sent 32 bytes
    Timeout 3.999973 seconds
    Opening connection to ::1:323
    Could not create socket : Address family not supported by protocol
    506 Cannot talk to daemon
    $

    I tried googling around but still cant find the solution.

    Regards,
    Sandeep
