NAME

       chrony.conf - chronyd configuration file

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 configuration 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  distri-
       bution  (chrony.txt  and  chrony.texi).	The  following directives will be particularly useful : `driftfile', `commandkey', `keyfile'.  The
       smallest useful 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 /var/lib/chrony/drift
