Would it be unacceptable for Chrony to step the clock (particularly back) during boot? This would only happen when the clock was at least 30 seconds off but I'm concerned that it might screw some of the daemons that might already have started. If Chrony can't step the clock it would have to slew it (which can take hours for large errors) or give up. This would only happen on rare occasions. -- John Hasler
