Sigh.  So often the case with Centos.  Do you know which Fedora release 
has it?

I was looking at the man for chronyd, and saw that the man for 2.1.1 
says it uses the drift file:

              If  chronyd doesn't support the RTC on your computer or 
there is
              no RTC installed, the system clock will be set with this  
option
              forward  to  the time of the last modification of the 
drift file
              (specified by the driftfile directive)  to  restore the  
system
              time at which chronyd was previously stopped.

What does the rtcsync in chronyd.conf do?
