Tell it to just use IP addresses. The delay is while it it trying to figure
out the name of the source from the IP address I believe. I believe there is
flag for the sources command to tell it not to use the DNS

[CAUTION: Non-UBC Email]

I have an improvement request for chronyc, more precisely its sources command. I call 
"chronyc sources" via popen() from a C program to determine if the system time 
can be considered synchronized or not.

Unfortunately, if the network cable is disconnected, it takes about ~ 15 seconds for 
"chronyc sources" to complete. The initial connection to chronyd takes place 
immediately, also the header of the commands' output is print immediately. But then there 
is a very long delay till the line with the NTP server status is printed.

This means that the disconnected network cable has a non-negligible negative 
effect on the command line interface (CLI), although chronyd and chronyc run on 
the same host.

It would be nice if the network status would not affect chronyc, i.e., chronyc 
completes promptly.

Thanks
