I was relying on ntpd service since ever until I read about "chronyd" as the substitute of ntpd adopted by new opensuse releases, then I switched to chronyd.
Despite this it seems ntp package being still necessary (?) or could be removed by the system?
To verify if my system is synchronized I use the command "timedatectl":
marco@linux-turion64:~> timedatectl Local time: dom 2018-11-18 11:40:48 -02 Universal time: dom 2018-11-18 13:40:48 UTC RTC time: dom 2018-11-18 11:40:48 Time zone: America/Sao_Paulo (-02, -0200) System clock synchronized: yes NTP service: inactive RTC in local TZ: yes
Interesting command! I did not know about it. But it would be rather more interesting if it displayed milliseconds, as it does it is not sufficient. It also, now that I think, does not display the network time at all, in my case from ntp, so I do not know how well my clock is synced - or not. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
