A remote time server for Chrony is configured
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Chrony is a daemon which implements the Network Time Protocol (NTP). It is designed to
synchronize system clocks across a variety of systems and use a source that is highly
accurate. More information on chrony can be found at
http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/.
Chrony can be configured to be a client and/or a server.
Add or edit server or pool lines to /etc/chrony.conf as appropriate:
server <remote-server>Multiple servers may be configured.
Rationale
If chrony is in use on the system proper configuration is vital to ensuring time
synchronization is working properly.
