一、操作环境
操作系统：CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) 最小化安装版 chrony版本：chrony-3.1-2.x86_64
二、配置过程
由于在CentOS7.4系统中以默认安装chrony，因此无需再执行安装过程。其他未安装chrony的操作系统要执行安装chrony也是极其简单的，以CentOS7以下没有自带chrony的操作系统版本为例，执行yum -y install chrony一键即可完成chrony的安装。 1、检查服务状态。
代码语言：javascript复制[root@Geeklp-Chrony ~]# systemctl status chronyd
● chronyd.service - NTP client/server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/chronyd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since 五 2018-01-12 10:20:17 CST; 1h 26min ago从以上信息中我们可以看到，chrony服务已经启动，默认开机启动，厂商预置状态为开机启动。 2、配置防火墙
代码语言：javascript复制[root@Geeklp-Chrony ~]# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=ntp
success
[root@Geeklp-Chrony ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success3、测试。 本次测试使用的客户端IP为：10.1.1.23，客户端同样安装的是chrony软件。 （1）将客户端chronyd的配置文件中以下几行注释了，并在后面新增一行：
代码语言：javascript复制#server 0.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 1.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 2.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 3.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 10.1.1.21 iburst（2）将客户时间修改为错误时间。 [root@JDK-Tomcat ~]# date -s 18:23:12 （3）重启客户端chrony。
代码语言：javascript复制[root@JDK-Tomcat ~]# systemctl restart chronyd(4)查看客户端时间同步情况。
代码语言：javascript复制[root@JDK-Tomcat ~]# date
2018年 01月 12日 星期五 19:39:37 CST结果与服务器时间一致，配置成功。测试完毕。 4、chrony也支持ntpdate，我们现在来卸载客户端上的chrony，然后使用ntpdate尝试同步。
代码语言：javascript复制[root@JDK-Tomcat ~]# yum -y remove chronyd
[root@JDK-Tomcat ~]# yum -y install ntpdate
[root@JDK-Tomcat ~]# ntpdate 10.1.1.21
12 Jan 19:41:49 ntpdate[3407]: step time server 10.1.1.21 offset 4702.851108 sec以上效果也是很明显的。我们也可以使用定时任务来同步时间，关于定时任务设置，此处不再赘述。
三、高级设置
chrony是ntp协议的另外一种实现，关于chrony与ntp的对比我们可以参考文末参考资料。一般情况下，建议使用chrony代替ntp。 1、关于chronyc。chronyc支持命令行模式与交互式模式。我们来看一下帮助文档。

help Generate this help以上命令在交互模式中支持自动补全哦，十分方便。让我们来实践一下吧。 （1）查看时间同步源。在命令行中输入chronyc进入交互模式。
怎么样？是不是比ntpq中显示的要直观得多。图中展示了一些命令补全的效果。 （2）查看时间同步状态。
