ntp2chrony tool ignores restrict line that contains expanded ipv6 netmasks
Issue
- ntp2chrony tool doesn't convert the following restrict line contains expanded netmask.
restrict xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:: mask ffff:ffff:ffff:fff0:: nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
- The generated /etc/chrony.conf shows that it was ignored in the conversion:
# The following directives were ignored in the conversion:
# restrict xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:: mask ffff:ffff:ffff:fff0:: nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
- Change the expanded netmask to bitmask format in the restrict line:
restrict xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:: mask 60 nomodify notrap
- Then it could be converted successfully in /etc/chrony.conf:
allow xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/60
