However, you could force chronyd to ignore the RTC by setting
rtcdevice to a nonexistent device and always use the driftfile, e.g.
rtcdevice /dev/doesnotexist
Where do I get the command, rtcdevice? It is not on my system. Then how
do
I run it? Do I add an ExecStartPre= to the chronyd.service file?
It should be in chrony.conf. It specifies the path to the RTC device,
which is /dev/rtc by default.
OK. I went to https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/doc/devel/chrony.conf.html to
read up a bit on chronyd.conf
And I am assuming that I am pointing to the default /dev/rtc and just add the
file.
If you have
rtcdevice /dev/existingfile
(where "exxistingfile" means a file already in /dev, usually /dev/rtc or
/dev/rtc0) then chrony will try to read at boot the rtc. If that file does not
exist then it uses the date from the drift file
Got it.
thanks
And do I create a /etc/sysconfig/chronyd with the single line:
OPTIONS= -s
Actually, that could go into the chrony systemd file
/usr/lib/systemd/system/chronyd.service
instead. Not all linux systems have /etc/sysconfig/chronyd files
Yes. If there are multiple options, I think they need to be in double
quotes, e.g. OPTIONS="-s -4".
