But I am not convinced that anything is done when ntp starts and before it gets in contact with a server. And that is what chrony provides. A useful estimate of time before the first server is found.
NTP does that. It has the hardware clock as a reference in place or a remote server reference and knows the rate of drift of the hardware clock.
If you are not seeing this then you are not setting NTP up correctly.
It is however openSUSE has it set up. All I have specified is the server, via YaST. What option controls how it retries servers that had previously failed? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
