#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
