It's nice if the clock is more-or-less right before services start. bind/named resolver doesn't resolve if the clock is horribly out (DNSSEC?) and it doesn't fix itself after a systemctl restart chronyd, you need to actually bounce named. Without named things like 'ntp.pool.fedora' don't work, so there's a catch-22.
postgresql can be unhappy on boot. This is clock related, but I can't replicate it 100% yet. journald will rotate logs as soon as chronyd syncs the clock. So any logs from bootup (1970) are lost. That's another reason to get the clock +- correct as soon as possible. I'm currently using a cron script to touch a file every 10 minutes, and read that on bootup (before chronyd), and I've added a 'Requires=touchClock' to some systemd services. The script is smart enough to refuse to run if it'll move the time backwards. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
