Just a heads up, make sure your firewall allows NTP traffic!

Wait, does it really sync that accurately? Sounds too good to be true.

I vaguely recall a similar question where we had to set up NTP, but I can't remember if we used `chronyc sources` to check the sync status.

I feel confident about using `systemctl` to enable and restart the chronyd service, but I hope I remember the right syntax for the timezone.

I think the command `yum install chrony` is definitely the first step, but I might mix up the configuration file settings.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the timezone setting. I'll need to double-check the correct timezone for my location.

Haha, the `tzselect` command is like a choose-your-own-adventure game for time zones! I wonder if there's a shortcut for that.

The solution looks comprehensive, but I'm not sure about the `chronyc sources -v` command at the end. Is there a way to verify the NTP sync is working properly?
