All works fine but...
Oct 27 13:37:31 white chronyd[635]: RTC time before last driftfile
modification (ignored)
This message appears if I restart Chronyd on a running system. Well,
RTC time is before last driftfile, but we are not restoring from
neither of them, because the system clock is ahead of both.
Not sure If this will create any user confusion.
I think it depends on what is the user expecting from the -s option.
If someone decided to fix system clock that's ahead of true time by
setting the RTC and restarting chronyd with the -s option, this
message would explain why it didn't work, even though it worked with
older versions.
Normally, the -s option should be used only on first start. A SysV
init script could be modified to do that, but systemd for instance
doesn't seem to allow different commands for first start and other
starts or restarts.
