-chrony is a versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). It
-can synchronise the system clock with NTP servers, reference clocks (e.g.
-GPS receiver), and manual input using wristwatch and keyboard. It can also
-operate as an NTPv4 (RFC 5905) server and peer to provide a time service to
-other computers in the network.

It is designed to perform well in a wide range of conditions, including
intermittent network connections, heavily congested networks, changing
-temperatures (ordinary computer clocks are sensitive to temperature), and
-systems that do not run continuously, or run on a virtual machine.

Note 1:
You must have the 'chrony' group and user to run this script:
$ groupadd -g 354 chrony
$ useradd -u 354 -d /var/lib/chrony -s /bin/false -g chrony chrony
-Feel free to use a different uid and gid if desired, but 354 is recommended
-to avoid conflicts with other stuff from SlackBuilds.org.

Note 2:
-If you are upgrading from previous version, where the daemon was running
-under 'root' user as opposed to 'chrony' user, you need to ensure correct
-permissions for /var/run/chrony directory and files under /var/lib/chrony
-directory.

-If possible (i.e. you don't have any precious files there), before starting

-The provided configuration file sets up chrony to operate in the most common
-scenario, that is NTP client for synchronising local machine time with the
-remote NTP server(s) time (using pool.ntp.org by default). See the man pages
