A general default configuration that enables sfptpd to run out of the box without controlling the system clock:

  • It synchronizes Solarflare NIC clocks to the system clock:
    [general]
    sync_module freerun fr1
    [fr1]
    interface system
  • It does not set up any remote time sources.
  • It does not self-daemonise (allowing systemd to take control).
  • It never adjusts the system clock (allowing co-existence with chronyd):
    [general]
    clock_readonly system
  • It logs messages via syslog, and does not log stats:
    [general]
    message_log syslog
    stats_log off
  • It does not attempt using hardware timestamps on non-Solarflare hardware:
    [general]
    non_solarflare_nics off
