Section Number and Name: 

[1] For connected Satellite 6.14:
      3.6. Synchronizing the System Clock With chronyd

[2] For Disconnected Satellite 6.14:
      2.5. Synchronizing the System Clock With chronyd

[3] For Capsule 6.14:
      2.5. Synchronizing the System Clock With chronyd



Describe the issue: 

Step (1) of the procedure in the referred-to section of the documentation is redundant. The 'chrony' package is always installed by default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x.


Suggestions for improvement: 

It would be sufficient to cut down the procedure in the referred-to section of the documentation to just ensuring that chronyd is enabled and started.
