Package: chrony
Version: 3.0-4+deb9u1
I'm running debian stable (stretch). When I do a fresh
install of chrony, for some reason it doesn't start on boot. This is without
touching any of the config files.
dilinger@e7450:~$ systemctl is-enabled chrony
enabled
dilinger@e7450:~$ systemctl status chrony

When started manually, here's what's in daemon.log:

I don't see anything in the logs during boot about chrony attempting to
start.
