[Samba] chrony configuration for secondary samba DC

[Alexei Rozenvaser]

I have just asked question at public mailing list.
I never demanding a thing.
I never forced anyone to answer me.
And no one is obligated to answer me.
Everything here is voluntary.
You are free to ignore me.
But I have to say that I don't like your tone and your accusations.

I should be able to make demands that you do what I want, even though I'm not paying you a dime, and in which I'm not going to expend my own efforts to support the user who wants to use Chrony. Instead I'm going to criticize RP for not seeing things my way."

I felt RP was quite helpful, even though I felt he didn't entirely get what/why I was doing things the way I was. [I may well end up being entirely wrong, just to be fair...] I was kind of frustrated. But hell, I'm doing something kind of odd. And I'm doing it in a way that's foreign to the way Samba does things.

If/when I do find a way forward, and if it's different than the Samba team recommends, I'll present the details here on the list and get follow-up information. Perhaps "my" way will become the "standard" and get published on the Wiki for everyone else to use. But perhaps I'll find I was a total bonehead and RP was entirely right the whole time and that I was just too un-knowledgeable/stupid/ignorant to understand the issues involved.

> But it would be a jerk of a move, for me to demand that RP [or anyone else on the list] do it my way, and find a fix for the problems I'm having, doing things in a way that's far outside the scope of the Samba project to support. That would be an entitled wind-bag approach.

> If you want to use the BTP [bonehead time protocol] package - that's fine. It will be on your head to demonstrate how it works and see if you can convince the Samba team and others on the list to support your BTP package as "official." And if you fail, a reasonable person would go quitely into the night instead of standing up raging that you should be able to dictate to others who are spending a vast amount of their time helping [for FREE] do it your way.
