# Chronyd blocks at startup

chronyd takes care of keeping the system clock in sync. When the system boots, chronyd will block start-up until it has resolved the time. This is useful on systems without a hardware clock (to avoid the system booting as 1970-01-01), but annoying for this setup.

This behaviour can be disabled by editing /etc/conf.d/chronyd and setting FAST_STARTUP=yes.
