OK, it should not do that if your network is up and you have not told it to
put them all offline in /etc/chrony.conf.

a) check chrony.conf to see if it is telling chrony to put the sources
offline. If chrony.conf is doing that remove the offline keywords in
chorny.conf.

b) Is your network up when chrony comes up? If you have to have chrony start
before the network comes up, then you could put in an init.d script to restart
chronyd after the network is up
