Proper configuration for Chrony

[TommyTran732]

Hi,

I am seeing some conflicting information on the forum, so I hope to find some clarifications here

- I want to use NTS, so I installed the Chrony plugin. I enabled NTS client support and added NTS peers.
- Some posts suggest that the NTP servers should be removed from NTP settings (the Service -> Network Time) so that ntpd stops running and will not run at boot. I followed this advice as I don't want an unnecessary service running on my system. However, I wonder if this is strictly necessary or if Chrony would have overriden NTPd anyways?
- The default port for chrony is 323 somehow. Is it to avoid conflict with NTPd?
- As far as I understand, chrony will automatically set the time. There is no need for a cronjob to sync with the chrony daemon. Is this correct?
- Someone said that if I change the port to 123, I will need to set up a cronjob to synchronize the time. If what I said above is correct, why is this the case? Is this person just wrong?
