[chrony-users] How to set time manually without adjusting clock drift?

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More chrony.tuxfamily.org/chrony-users Archives ]


Hello all,

I would like to set the reference time chrony delivers to its clients manually. Using `chronyc settime` has the side-effect of recalculating the clock drift. This is entirely unwanted, as, in my case, it does not imply the clock having drifted.

Using `chronyc settime` the overcompensation chrony does quickly builds up, generating an enormous error on my clients.

```
root@RISEKonn:~# date -u; chronyc tracking

Thank you!
Best regards,
