You can run either one, but not both. By default, fedora installs and uses chronyd. If you wish to run ntpd instead of chronyd you should do.... systemctl --now disable ntpd systemctl --now enable ntpd You should then see something like.... systemctl status ntpd ● ntpd.service - Network Time Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2020-08-16 16:24:43 CST; 1h 5min ago Process: 1965 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ntpd -u ntp:ntp $OPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1967 (ntpd) Tasks: 2 (limit: 1327) Memory: 1.4M CPU: 356ms CGroup: /system.slice/ntpd.service └─1967 /usr/sbin/ntpd -u ntp:ntp -g Aug 16 16:26:01 f32x.greshko.com ntpd[1967]: Soliciting pool server 2001:418:8405:4002::3 Aug 16 16:26:01 f32x.greshko.com ntpd[1967]: Soliciting pool server 2607:fcd0:100:8203::ba91:df54 Then take note of the man page for ntpd. And you'll find.... the drift file is automatically updated once per hour and is available to initialize the frequency on subsequent daemon restarts This means that ntpd must be running for 1 hour before the drift file is created/updated. Note that I started ntpd at 16:26:01. At that time no drift file existed. But then....
