=== Can `chronyd` be configured to control the clock like `ntpd`?
It is not possible to perfectly emulate `ntpd`, but there are some options that
can configure `chronyd` to behave more like `ntpd`.
In the following example the `minsamples` directive slows down the response to
changes in the frequency and offset of the clock. The `maxslewrate` and
`corrtimeratio` directives reduce the maximum frequency error due to an offset
correction and the `maxdrift` directive reduces the maximum assumed frequency
error of the clock. The `makestep` directive enables a step threshold and the
`maxchange` directive enables a panic threshold. The `maxclockerror` directive
increases the minimum dispersion rate.
