The following should be all hardcoded default locations: CONFIG_FILE "/etc/ntp.conf" NTS_CERT_FILE "/etc/ntp/cert-chain.pem" NTS_KEY_FILE "/etc/ntp/key.pem" NTP_VAR "/var/NTP/" The following should be all of the files that have default/autoconfig locations: /etc/ntp.conf /dev/acts%d /dev/cuaa1 /dev/gps0 /dev/gps%d /dev/gpspps%d /dev/hpgps%d /dev/jjy%d /dev/modem%d /dev/null /dev/oncore.pps.%d /dev/oncore.serial.%d /dev/palisade%d /dev/pps%d /dev/refclockpps-%u /dev/refclock-%u /dev/spectracom%d /dev/trimble%d /dev/true%d /dev/zyfer%d /var/NTP/%sstats The following should be all the configuration directive that accept file/directory paths: driftfile driftfile filegen name [file filename] includefile includefile keys keyfile leapfile leapfile logfile logfile nts [cert file] [key file] [ca file] [cookie file] refclock drivername [path filename] [ppspath filename] server nts [ca file] statsdir path > I think there used to be a snippet of documentation that described all the > files ntpd used.
