The easiest is jut to not install ntpd.. The next is to make sure that neither
in /etc/rc?.d or in /lib/systemd there is nothing that calls ntpd. ntp is the
protocol, and chrony uses that protocol. ntpd is the reference implimentation
of that protocol to discipline the local clock, which would be in conflict
with chrony.
