why do I have to run chrony? why can I not use a decent NTP client, and be able to configure it in Yast?
You don't have to, just deselect chrony and select ntp, but you'll have to configure your ntp manually. I don't know the reasoning for the switch to Chrony. I'm also sticking to ntp.
Chrony is infinitely more flexible and reliable in real world scenarios where network connectivity is not always guaranteed Laptops, cluster nodes, containers, VMs, systems with software defined networks, all benefit from chrony and all risk serious disruption with ntpd when networks go wrong and ntpd fails to handle it gracefully Nothing wrong with sticking with ntpd as an informed choice but a good default works in more scenarios in the real-world than the alternatives That is something which is unquestionably true with chrony vs ntpd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
