Actually cancel b) Even if the network is down when chrony starts the sources
should come up and be online when the network comes up. At least it does that
on my laptop, where I have to connect to the network well after chronyd comes
up. Perhaps you should post your chrony.conf file and tell us which version of
chrony you are running.
