You should try it again. I installed it last night and everything works as advertised. chrony installation handles all the details except for interaction across a firewall (hint: "grep ntp /etc/services"), and the NTP server defined in /etc/chrony/chrony.conf doesn't appear to be accessible anymore. googling for ntp servers produces a couple of lists of stratum-1 and -2 open servers which you can use instead. > It was more than a year ago but I remember trying to run chronyc > resulted in some problem with authentication even when I try to run it > as root and I could never figure out how to use it. I had no trouble using it as an unprivileged user. I haven't needed to run it as root yet. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
