Package: chrony Version: 1.21z-5 Followup-For: Bug #268289 This is still a problem in the current release.
Let me summarize: Out-of-the-box chrony specifies the ntp servers per DNS names. If the dnslookup fails when chronyd starts, these sources are discarded! (Maybe someone else should confirm this.) Typically, if you only have a dial-up connection, and chronyd starts at boot time, you end up with no sources at all. I think this isn't a debian-specific problem and should be fixed in upstream. If chrony would support a typical SIGHUP (reread config) then this could be used in ip-up.d/ . Of course, the best fix is to delay the dnslookup after the servers are 'online'.
