Yes, they are in UTC. The reference time in the tracking report is the time of the last update of the local NTP clock. The ntpdata report shows the last update of the server's clock from the last valid response, which would be seen it its tracking report at the time if it's a chrony server. The client doesn't use every valid response to update its clock. There is filtering. This means the difference to the current time in tracking report can be a multiple of polling intervals. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
