11 Success !!!!!! Check this out:
12
13 root@fireball / # ntpdate -b -u -q pool.ntp.org
14 server 169.229.70.183, stratum 3, offset 0.009525, delay 0.12221
15 server 216.45.57.38, stratum 2, offset 0.000842, delay 0.12035
16 server 63.211.239.58, stratum 2, offset 0.009992, delay 0.09676
17 8 Jan 15:39:49 ntpdate[7402]: step time server 63.211.239.58 offset
18 0.009992 sec
19 root@fireball / #

21 Now, with ntp, it logs to messages when it syncs, resets the clock and
22 such. Does chrony do this somewhere too? I have this in my conf file:
23
24 server 64.6.144.6
25 server 67.159.5.90
26 server 67.59.168.233
27 server 204.62.14.98
28 server 69.50.219.51
29 server 209.114.111.1
30 driftfile /etc/chrony.drift
31 logdir /var/log/chrony
32
33 I would think it would be either in messages or in /var/log/chrony but
34 so far nothing is in there. This is from messages:

63 Ideas? I miss something somewhere? Do I have to create a file for it
64 to log to as well?

70 P. S. I wonder why ntp and openntp didn't work?
