Is there a real reason to install an extra package if chrony provides a tool similar to ntpdate?On Wed, Jan 31, 2024 at 05:32:26AM -0500, gene heskett wrote:How do I setup /etc/chrony/chrony.conf so it slams the system clock to the current time on the first cycle as its rebooting? There was 20 yeas back, an ntpdate command that would do that.You can use "rdate" (openrdate) as quick fix like `ntpdate'.
If I recall it right, the reason why chrony appeared here was just $ man timesyncd No manual entry for timesyncdIf it is that box with armbian modified by a Chinese 3d printer vendor then I am surprised that, intended for boards without RTC, it does not have proper NTP setup out of the box. Despite I expect arbitrary peculiarities in this kind of a Linux distribution, I still believe that NTP troubles were caused by user actions.
