* if your external connection goes down, the computers on the LAN will maintain
a common time with each other.
-S: Addressing issues
-Q: I get the following error message : "Could not get IP adress for localhost"
-Add a line like the following to your /etc/hosts file
- 127.0.0.1 localhost
-
-Q: I have problems if I put the names of my NTP servers in the chrony.conf file.
-If you have no connection to the Internet at boot time, chrony won't be able to
-turn the names into IP addresses when it starts. There seem to be 2 solutions:
-
-1. Put the numeric IP addresses in the chrony.conf file
-or
-2. Put the server->IP address mappings in your /etc/hosts file and ensure that
- /etc/host.conf reads 'order hosts,bind'.
-
-The problem is that chronyd (currently) isn't designed in a way that allows
-hostname->IP address lookups during normal operation. I hope to work on this
-problem very soon.

S: My computer is not synchronising.
This is the most common problem. There are a number of reasons, see the
