Doc Text:
.`chrony` rebased to version 4.1 `chrony` has been updated to version 4.1. Notable bug fixes and enhancements include: * Added support for Network Time Security (NTS) authentication. For more information, see link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_basic_system_settings/assembly_overview-of-network-time-security-in-chrony_configuring-basic-system-settings[Overview of Network Time Security (NTS) in chrony]. * By default, the Authenticated Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources are trusted over non-authenticated NTP sources. Add the `autselectmode ignore` argument in the `chrony.conf` file to restore the original behavior. * The support for authentication with `RIPEMD` keys - `RMD128`, `RMD160`, `RMD256`, `RMD320` is no longer available. * The support for long non-standard MACs in NTPv4 packets is no longer available. If you are using `chrony 2.x`, `non-MD5/SHA1` keys, you need to configure `chrony` with the `version 3` option.
