Aus der chrony-Anleitung: 3.2.1 Setting up the configuration file for infrequent connections As in the previous section, you will need access to NTP servers on the internet. The same remarks apply for how to find them. In this case, you will need some additional configuration to tell chronyd when the connection to the internet goes up and down. This saves the program from continuously trying to poll the servers when they are inaccessible. Again, assuming that your ntp servers are called a.b.c and d.e.f, your chrony.conf file would need to contain something like server a.b.c server d.e.f server g.h.i However, the following issues need to be addressed: Your computer probably doesn't have DNS access whilst offline to turn the machine names into IP addresses. Your computer will keep trying to contact the servers to obtain timestamps even whilst offline. If you operate a dial-on-demand system, things are even worse, because the link to the internet will keep getting established. For this reason, it would be better to specify this part of your configuration file in the following way: server 1.2.3.4 offline server 5.6.7.8 offline server 9.10.11.12 offline Because numeric IP addresses have been used, the first problem is overcome. The offline keyword indicates that the servers start in an offline state, and that they should not be contacted until chronyd receives notification that the link to the internet is present. An alternative is to use the names of the NTP servers, and put entries for them into your /etc/hosts file. This will be OK as long as files comes before dns in the hosts line of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Gru�, Marcus -- Fickle minds, pretentious attitudes and ugly make-up on ugly faces...
