Comments: From http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/:
Chrony is a pair of programs which are used to
maintain the accuracy of the system clock on a
computer. The two programs are called chronyd and
chronyc.
Chronyd is a daemon which runs in background on the
system. It obtains measurements via the network of
the system clock's offset relative to time servers
on other systems and adjusts the system time
accordingly. For isolated systems, the user can
periodically enter the correct time by hand (using
Chronyc). In either case, Chronyd determines the
rate at which the computer gains or loses time, and
compensates for this. Chronyd implements the NTP
protocol and can act as either a client or a server.
Chronyc provides a user interface to Chronyd for
monitoring its performance and configuring various
settings. It can do so while running on the same
computer as the Chronyd instance it is controlling
or a different computer.

This extension was built from
http://download.tuxfamily.org/chrony/chrony-1.24.tar.gz
The chrony manual is
http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/manual.html
The chrony configuration file for this extension is
/usr/local/etc/chrony/chrony.conf
It should work without modification for any system
that has good network connectivity when the system
starts. Execute
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/chrony restart
to restart chrony if the network goes down or if
chrony does not seem to be synchronizing the clock.
The default configuration does not save any system
state on disk. Chrony will generally synchronize the
system clock within a few minutes.
The default configuration synchronizes with four
servers from the pool provided by pool.ntp.org; see
http://www.pool.ntp.org for suggestions about
selecting more appropriate servers.
The default configuration tests the accuracy of the
system clock whenever chrony starts execution. If the
clock is in error by more than 30 seconds, the clock
is set immediately to the correct time. Otherwise, the
clock is slewed (adjusted) incrementally in such a
manner that time never jumps backward.
Execute
echo -e 'tracking\n sources -v' | chronyc
to get an overview of the state of chronyd.
Critical chronyc commands are protected by a password
that is stored in
/usr/local/etc/chrony/chrony.keys
The default password is "mc". For example, execute
echo -e 'password mc\n burst 5/10' | chronyc
to cause chronyd to attempt to get 5 good responses
quickly for each ntp server but to send no more than
10 requests to each server. This command can speed
up synchronization.
