Chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer
|
||
|
|
clocks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reference time can be derived from either Network Time Protocol
|
||
|
|
(NTP) servers (preferred), or wristwatch-and-keyboard (via chronyc).
|
||
|
|
The main source of information about the Network Time Protocol is
|
||
|
|
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is designed so that it can work on computers which only have
|
||
|
|
intermittent access to reference sources, for example computers which
|
||
|
|
use a dial-up account to access the Internet. Of course, it will work
|
||
|
|
on computers with permanent connections too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Chronyd can also operate as an RFC1305-compatible NTP server and peer.
