Both ntpd and chronyd (in default > configuration) let the kernel sync the RTC. The ability to invoke chronyd in a way that mimics ntpdate. This thread has turned up that you can invoke *ntpd* in this way: ntpd -q -g -x. But no-one has yet provided an equivalent invocation for chronyd, and I could not figure one out from the manpage. Aside from anything else, anaconda requires something like this to be available in order to check whether an NTP server is valid and available: a simple, one-off command which will 'return true' in some obvious way if the specified server exists and responds correctly, and 'return false' if it doesn't. For now it is using ntpdate; I suppose we could switch it to ntpd, but it would make an awful lot more sense if chronyd could do this. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
