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. -- "Security can be viewed like a construction scenario - build part of a road, and even if and even if you don't complete it, you still have something to drive on; build part of a bridge and you have nothing!
