#50121: submission: chrony NTP server

Most distributions today use chrony as NTP server because it performs
better on systems that do not run continuously or on systems which are
only temporarily connected to the internet (e.g. notebooks or dial-up
connections) whereas ntpd needs regular polling of the reference to work
well. See http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/faq.html and
http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/comparison.html for more.
This submission includes a helper application which I designed to monitor
the network reachability and which tells chronyd when the internet link is
available or not using the mechanism described at
http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/manual.html#Infrequent-connection.
A graphical front end which can show the overall server performance
(tracking) and the state of individual remote time servers is available at
http://whatroute.net/chronycontrol.html
