SYNOPSIS
/etc/chrony.conf
DESCRIPTION
chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer
clocks. chronyd is a background daemon program that can be started at
boot time.
Assuming that you have found some servers, you need to set up a config‐
uration file to run chrony. The (compiled-in) default location for
this file is /etc/chrony.conf. Assuming that your ntp servers are
called `a.b.c' and `d.e.f', your chrony.conf file could contain as a
minimum
server a.b.c
server d.e.f
server g.h.i
However, you will probably want to include some of the other directives
described in detail in the documentation supplied with the distribution
(chrony.txt and chrony.texi). The following directives will be particu‐
larly useful : `driftfile', `commandkey', `keyfile'. The smallest use‐
ful configuration file would look something like
server a.b.c
server d.e.f
server g.h.i
keyfile /etc/chrony.keys
commandkey 1
driftfile /etc/chrony.drift
