I am a bit confused. I thought that chrony delivered its best estimate of the
time now, which might be different from the time actually shown by the system
clock, because it was still in the process of being corrected. So, if it
decided that the time, from the best fit, now was 12:00:00.00000000 but the system
clock was 11:59:26.4, it would transfer 12:00:00.000000000 as the current
time.
I also am not sure what frequency transfer means. The frequency should be 1.
Does frequency transfer mean telling the remote clock what its estimate of the
frequency of the local clock is? Why would that help the remote clock?
