23.9.2. Understanding the timemaster Configuration File

Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a default /etc/timemaster.conf file with a number of sections containing default options. The section headings are enclosed in brackets.
To view the default configuration, issue a command as follows: 
~]$ less /etc/timemaster.conf
# Configuration file for timemaster

#[ntp_server ntp-server.local]
#minpoll 4
#maxpoll 4

#[ptp_domain 0]
#interfaces eth0

[timemaster]
ntp_program chronyd

[chrony.conf]
include /etc/chrony.conf

[ntp.conf]
includefile /etc/ntp.conf

[ptp4l.conf]

[chronyd]
path /usr/sbin/chronyd
options -u chrony

[ntpd]
path /usr/sbin/ntpd
options -u ntp:ntp -g

[phc2sys]
path /usr/sbin/phc2sys

[ptp4l]
path /usr/sbin/ptp4l

Notice the section named as follows: 
[ntp_server address]

This is an example of an NTP server section, “ntp-server.local” is an example of a host name for an NTP server on the local LAN. Add more sections as required using a host name or IP address as part of the section name. Note that the short polling values in that example section are not suitable for a public server, see Chapter 22, Configuring NTP Using ntpd for an explanation of suitable minpoll and maxpoll values.
Notice the section named as follows: 
[ptp_domain number]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
A “PTP domain” is a group of one or more PTP clocks that synchronize to each other. They may or may not be synchronized to clocks in another domain. Clocks that are configured with the same domain number make up the domain. This includes a PTP grandmaster clock. The domain number in each “PTP domain” section needs to correspond to one of the PTP domains configured on the network.
An instance of ptp4l is started for every interface which has its own PTP clock and hardware time stamping is enabled automatically. Interfaces that support hardware time stamping have a PTP clock (PHC) attached, however it is possible for a group of interfaces on a NIC to share a PHC. A separate ptp4l instance will be started for each group of interfaces sharing the same PHC and for each interface that supports only software time stamping. All ptp4l instances are configured to run as a slave. If an interface with hardware time stamping is specified in more than one PTP domain, then only the first ptp4l instance created will have hardware time stamping enabled.
Notice the section named as follows: 
[timemaster]

The default timemaster configuration includes the system ntpd and chrony configuration (/etc/ntp.conf or /etc/chronyd.conf) in order to include the configuration of access restrictions and authentication keys. That means any NTP servers specified there will be used with timemaster too.
The section headings are as follows:
  • [ntp_server ntp-server.local] — Specify polling intervals for this server. Create additional sections as required. Include the host name or IP address in the section heading.
  • [ptp_domain 0] — Specify interfaces that have PTP clocks configured for this domain. Create additional sections with, the appropriate domain number, as required.
  • [timemaster] — Specify the NTP daemon to be used. Possible values are chronyd and ntpd.
  • [chrony.conf] — Specify any additional settings to be copied to the configuration file generated for chronyd.
  • [ntp.conf] — Specify any additional settings to be copied to the configuration file generated for ntpd.
  • [ptp4l.conf] — Specify options to be copied to the configuration file generated for ptp4l.
  • [chronyd] — Specify any additional settings to be passed on the command line to chronyd.
  • [ntpd] — Specify any additional settings to be passed on the command line to ntpd.
  • [phc2sys] — Specify any additional settings to be passed on the command line to phc2sys.
  • [ptp4l] — Specify any additional settings to be passed on the command line to all instances of ptp4l.
The section headings and there contents are explained in detail in the timemaster(8) manual page.
