The protocol used by both chrony and xntp3 adjusts for propabation delay. Chrony also calculates the drift rate of your clock and makes adjustments while you are off line. Both chrony and xntp3 can act as time servers for your LAN. The biggest advantage of chrony on a dial-up system like yours is that it will just work straight out of the box.

Subject: netdate - ntp - chrony ? Date: Wed, May 12, 1999 at 12:25:58PM -0500 In reply to:Christian Dysthe Quoting Christian Dysthe([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi, I want a simple task performed. ntp does it, but is not really made for a dial-up system like mine. chrony does it also, but what I wondered is: couldn't It use netdate for this? I have put the following script in my /etc/ip-up.d #!/bin/sh if [ -x /usr/sbin/netdate ] then /usr/sbin/netdate 165.91.52.110 /dev/null 21 fi exit 0 165.91.52.110 is a time server. In /etc/cron.daily I have this script: #! /bin/sh if [ -x /sbin/hwclock ] then hwclock --adjust hwclock --systohc --utc fi exit 0 This last script is there since I do not often reboot, and still want the hardware clock adjusted. These two scripts seems to keep my clock correct without having to install ntp or chrony, or have I as a newbie missed something here? I would really like to know the difference between netdate and ntp/chrony. And if you choose a time server to use with netdate, shouldn't it be just as accurate as if you used ntp? I'm with you. I do the same as you but have also installed adjtimex which keeps things in line when I'm not connect for a long period, like overnight. For a home network, that combo works fine.
