[chrony-users] How to set chrony on a remote server with always on internet

["J. Bakshi" <joydeep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

During my search on time sync service in linux I have found chrony as a
good competitor of ntp.  I have found through several documentation that
chrony can also adjust the clock with fluctuating internet connection.
Hence chrony is my prime choice as a time deamon both for workstation as
well as servers. But as a newbie I have faced some problems and I
request you, the list to provide me some enlightenment, please.

[1] I have installed chrony in a remote debian box which is connected
with broadband connection and it hardly becomes offline.  In this
situation what might be the tweak in the configuration to make chrony
aware about this non ppp based Internet connection ?

[2]  The box has IST as the timezone.  i.e.

debian:~# date
Wed Mar 31 10:44:19 IST 2010

Do I need any modification in the timezone ? It has been mentioned that
chrony is based on UTC, But is it impossible to keep the timezone as
local one and run chrony ?

Please let me know.
