Agreed.  I had no idea I was already running an NTP client.  It seems it doesn't work correctly, since I subsequently installed ntpd. 
Can we please stop this strange naming of system utilities.  chrony is so similar to chron, that I assumed it was related.  It never occured to me it might be a repalcement NTP daemon.
