The * refclock * directive is for configuring reference clocks such as PPS lines or even atomic clocks. These are much more precise than RTC. They form the stratum 0 of the NTP network. I don't think you can use a RTC as stratum 0. Out of curiosity, which services have a hard dependency on timesyncd? Remember that you can override any system provided units by placing your replacements in /etc/systemd. -- Ian -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
