With Leap15 switching to chrony instead of ntp, I thought I would play around with it, see if it is really up to it. Just playing, I have no intention of switching.
Learning is always good :) Is chrony a replacement for ntp as server, or client only?
It looks to me to be both. Not a drop-in replacement for ntp, but close.
There is a comparison here, I don't how accurate it is:

Also, chrony does not appear to have support for hardware reference clocks, which is a bit odd. I may have misunderstood.
See "Reference Clocks" on the link above. It says "Number of HW-specific drivers: chrony=0".
See last sentence there: ntp includes a large number of drivers for various hardware reference clocks. chrony requires other programs (e.g. gpsd or ntp-refclock) to provide reference time via the SHM or SOCK interface. Apart from that it seems to have nice features indeed. I think I should also have a closer look at it at least... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
