Any reason we don't call this just ntp-ng? It's getting harder to figure out what half these daemon projects are called. NTP is what it spells. 'Chrony' does not sound like time to me.

--Smitty (talk) 08:33, 5 February 2015 (UTC) Agreed. I had no idea I was already running an NTP client. It seems it doesn't work correctly, since I subsequently installed ntpd. Can we please stop this strange naming of system utilities. chrony is so similar to chron, that I assumed it was related. It never occurred to me it might be a replacement NTP daemon. ...redacted...

Further, running chronyc as root should not require me to use a "commandkey-password", especially since it seems to not work anyway. example below (HEX used was from /etc/chrony.keys - value here not shown, replaced with 1s)

chronyc> password HEX:11111111111111111111111111111111111
