i can brush off the NTS default conf file I had, at lastNTS is the major new feature/function. It also added many new features/enhancements:
I agree that it appears to be doing a better job at real time management.
Now, to find NTS servers and setup Asuswrt-Merlin chrony to use NTS. I tried (I have been running a self compiled 4.0). I'm not a security guru and it was a bit over my head.
Now that it is in the wild, I'm hoping some clever users will come up with the steps to setup and enable NTS server attachments on Asuswrt-Merlin.
BTW, if you install chrony (via spdmerlin) you also install chronyc - a command line tool (spdmerlin uses this to collect the stats that are graphed).
To explore, you can run chronyc in interactive mode. Just enter chronyc.
You will be at the chronyc command prompt:
chronyc>
Enter the command help to get started
chronyc> help

I was afraid of that... When I compiled chrony on my AX88U, it did not include NTS as well. Compiled on a Rpi4 running Raspbian, NTS was included.View attachment 28226
looks like entware may have built it without nts support?

There is a configure script in the chrony build directory that checks for GnuTLS. If not present, no NTS. Entware does have libgnutls but it's headers etc must not have been in the compile path. Just a guess.
I thought I had mentioned this to the Entware devs. I will log another issue on github.
NTS only builds in the package called chrony-nts which Entware does not include by default, unfortunately.i replied to your existing issue
Hiya, what happened here? It is too good to be truth. Things appear normal but look at graphs - that is impossible. OK at least I have never seen it on my router
Too early to celebrate - usually if something sounds too good to be truth it is not.hmmm... I'll turn off my local gps time source and see...
Maybe. Unless you are running a local chrony NTP server with attached GPS:Well sounds we will have to settle on μs for now
Too early to celebrate<snip>
yes it easy to get spoiled... amazes me the resolution I get... and no need to get permission from the low stratum server operators at the 'usual' institutions...Maybe. Unless you are running a local chrony NTP server with attached GPS<snip>
