Chrony very likely is a suitable replacement for NTPd,
If I'd only find out how to connect my serial DCF77 clock to chrony, this might become true.
The very last paragraph in the comparison I linked previously, ntp-refclock is mentioned:
OK, so I should replace ntpd with ntpd plus chrony?
No. ntp-refclock *reuses* hardware drivers distributed as part of ntp and makes them work standalone. It is a very tiny part of ntp.
OK, and then I need a "ntp-broadcast" deamon in addition to chrony to use broadcast / multicast ntp etc.,
Of course someone could just do a fork of ntp with only the drivers and delete the ntp daemon itself. That would be a win for everybody, nobody would cry "NIH", or blame someone for segmentation.
NOT!
The NTP *core* is showing its age, so it makes sense to replace it
Well, it works well for me, despite its age ;-) And I'm not going to replace it with something that does not support the things I use at all... -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
