NTP server clock adjustment with chrony

Abstract

As of now, all servers have an equipment or programming clock to which reference is made to time stamp records, exchanges, messages, and so forth. This clock, albeit structured around a quartz oscillator, floats like any customary watch, which implies this common watch cannot a match to such created machines that are networked and share common resources like file systems. For example, UNIX is a development tool which makes command, based on its work on comparing file modification dates. Similarly, the correlation of log messages from several systems becomes very difficult if they are not at the same time. In this article, we will concentrate on this topic by designing a server utilizing the NTP convention since the primary “focus” of the NTP usage is UNIX frameworks, and to be more explicit, we will see the management of the NTP server with the Chrony tool.
