An alternative would be nice.)
chrony requires access to the RTC device. Unfortunately, OS X doesn't even provide a /dev/rtc node. I've never looked into porting it for OS X due to that problem. There likely is some XNU interface to the whole RTC stuff, but I never felt motivated enough for rewriting chrony to use that -- if it's even possible. I have been using chrony on an embedded machine without a real RTC device and that worked. But naturally, without being able to change the drift, it won't do you much good. Mihai
