Hi,

I'm new to Apline and just installed Apline 3.5.2 to hard disk (in 
Virtualbox, x86_64) with default options. During the boot, I note that 
chronyd takes ~5 seconds to start, which I think is too much. How can I 
improve this?

Wireshark shows that there are 3~4 NTP requests sent during the boot 
with a interval ~2s, I think this explains why chronyd takes so much 
time to start. But why can't it do this in background?

I try to start chronyd in command line, it also takes >5s before going 
to background:

# rc-service chronyd stop
  * Stopping chronyd ...
# time chronyd
real    0m 7.37s
user    0m 0.00s
sys    0m 0.00s

However I failed to find an option for command line or configure file to 
change this behavior.

Regards,
Duan, Yao
