Additionally I like to inform some more findings.

[3]   /var/log/chrony/statistics.log;   /var/log/chrony/tracking.log ; 
/var/log/chrony/measurements.log  are empty.

[4]  chronyc>tracking  reports

            506 Cannot talk to daemon

[5]  I do have a firewall here and the box has apache, mail, squid
accessible from net.  Do I need to open any specific port for chrony ?


eagerly waiting for a response.
thanks
