.SH NAME
|
|
chrony.conf \- chronyd configuration file
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B @SYSCONFDIR@/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@SYSCONFDIR@/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 may be
|
|
particularly useful : `driftfile', `generatecommandkey', `keyfile', `makestep'.
|
|
Also, the `iburst' server option is useful to speed up the initial
|
|
synchronization. The smallest useful configuration file would look something
|
|
like
|
|
|
|
server a.b.c iburst
|
|
server d.e.f iburst
|
|
server g.h.i iburst
|
|
keyfile @SYSCONFDIR@/chrony.keys
|
|
generatecommandkey
|
|
driftfile @CHRONYVARDIR@/drift
|
|
makestep 10 3
