I'm not sure which "maximum error" do you mean. chrony provides root
dispersion and root delay in the chronyc tracking report, similarly to
the ntpq readvar command.


Thanks, Miroslav:-)

By the way, by "maximum error", I mean the maximum uncertainty of the
local system time, or the maximum error between local system time and
the time server's system time:-)

Sounds like it basically the roundtrip-time/2 +max uncert in the server time. Not that that is a terribly useful number.
