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.

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.
