Hi, Checking the configuration, I think orphan mode is exactly what was missing.

If those two unreachable sources don't become reachable, it should eventually reach a majority and update the clock.

Only one source should be using the local reference unless the orphan mode is enabled. If upstream connectivity is normally expected to work, it's best to avoid local completely. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
