Bug ID: 977045 Summary: Guide should document chronyd, not ntpd Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: system-administrator's-guide Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Assignee: jhradile@redhat.com Reporter: me@petetravis.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: jhradile@redhat.com
As of F16, Fedora uses `chrony` (chronyd.service) as the default time daemon[1]. Chrony monitors and offsets local clock skew, making it superior for machines without a constant connection to an ntp server. It also effectively changes the system clock for even very large time changes, where ntpd would require manual adjustment. The System administrator's guide should be updated to reflect this.
The following sections, and references to them, should be updated: 2.2.3, “Configuring the Network Time Protocol” D.1.14. /etc/sysconfig/ntpd
