[gentoo-user] Chrony-2.2 failing

[Peter Humphrey <peter@prh.myzen.co.uk>]

Hello list,

Chrony has been upgraded from 2.1.1 to 2.2 this week. The new version seems 
to run just fine on this amd64 box, but on my x86 Atom box it fails to start 
thus:

# /etc/init.d/chronyd start
 * Starting chronyd ...
 * start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt
 * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/chronyd died
 * Failed to start chronyd                                     [ !! ]
 * ERROR: chronyd failed to start

This is after adjusting the config files. Has anyone else stumbled into 
this?

What's more, earlier versions had a decent man page and heavily commented 
chronyd.conf, but now the chrony.conf man page has been cut to a bare 
minimum and instead refers to a file chrony.txt "included in the 
distribution". I cannot find any such file after running ebuild $(equery w 
chrony) prepare.
