Oh wow, that's good to hear!  Do you then know which package I need to install to get chrony.sh?  dhclient itself is already installed, but the script is not present.  I tried "dnf provides chrony.sh", but no package was found.

On my Mageia 7 system ( which I agree is not Redhat/CentOS) it is in the above
directory and is supplied by the chrony package. Did you install chrony
while not root?
rpm -qf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/chrony.sh
chrony-3.4-2.mga7

In any case, thank you for all the information provided.

As I now understand it, the configuration is (at least mostly) with the DHCP client.  I am working on this on CentOS 8, and am using Network Manager.  I see that NM has a chrony script (/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/20-chrony) which, when the network goes up or down, toggles the on/offline status of chrony.  I also see that it has a script (11-dhclient) looks to see if there are scripts in /etc/dhclient.d, and runs them.  One of the scripts it looks for is one for chrony.  Unfortunately, that directory doesn't exist, much less the script itself.

   That missing script is /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/chrony.sh. It all should
   work out of the box. I maintain the chrony package in RHEL/CentOS. :)

   I wouldn't expect that to matter. NetworkManager should make its own
   DHCP request.
