I've been using chrony for years now. It always seems smooth and simple to me - apart from a silly log message that's emitted any time it goes for a time source it hasn't seen before. Instead of saying it's created a new log file for it, it says it's failed to open the log file. And then it just creates it anyway.

Ho hum...
