Only NTP sources can be specified in the /etc/chrony/sources.d directory. Files in this directory must end with the ".sources" suffix. They can only contain the "peer", "pool" and "server" directives and must have all lines terminated by a trailing newline. There is no need to restart chronyd for these time sources to be usable, running 'chronyc reload sources' is sufficient. Example: # echo 'server 192.0.2.1 iburst' > /etc/chrony/sources.d/local-ntp-server.sources # chronyc reload sources
