This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import.  It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997.  If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.

.TH chrony.conf 5 "August 10, 2001" chrony "Configuration Files"
.SH NAME
chrony.conf \- chronyd configuration file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/chrony.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIchrony\fR is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer
clocks. \fIchronyd\fR 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 \fIchrony\fR. The (compiled-in) default location
for this file is \fB/etc/chrony.conf\fR. Assuming that your ntp servers
are called `a.b.c' and `d.e.f', your \fBchrony.conf\fR 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
(\fIchrony.txt\fR and \fIchrony.texi\fR). 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 /etc/chrony.drift
