It really depends on the use case. chrony seems to pick a "best" source and try really really hard to track that one true source. ntpd tries to intelligently track multiple sources at a time. For a stratum 2/3 box that just tracks internet sources only, I've had pretty good luck using chrony instead of ntpd. For a stratum 1 box that tracks a single GPS/PPS source, it probably would work great for that too. For a local stratum 2 that tracks just local stratum 1s, that would probably be an excellent use case for ntpd. For a local stratum 3 that just tracks multiple local stratum 2s? That would probably be a good chrony use, as has temperature compensation. It's hard to really be generic, this is one of those cases where "test!" kind of applies. -Dustin _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
