The tracking offset shows the last offset of the NTP clock estimating true time considering all combined sources. The "System time" offset is the current offset of the system clock to the NTP clock. The sources offset is the last measurement of the source relative to the NTP clock. The timex offset is the kernel's PLL offset. chrony doesn't use that, so it should always be zero. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-request-kWFZVVI9zxvPqho9SqqRMmD2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
