Allow running as non-root user with minimum required capabilities:

  • Enable with user configuration or --user command line options.
  • Example udev rules support hotplug with non-root user.
Important: The root user is required if the chronyd clock control script example is used to restart chronyd. This restriction is removed in version 3.8.0 by the addition of a helper. See Add a Privileged Helper.
