RHEL / Red Hat · medium · solved in-browser (no VM needed) · 3 tiered hints

Write /etc/chrony.conf with at least one server line using the iburst option, a driftfile directive pointing at /var/lib/chrony/drift, a makestep directive with a threshold and a limit (e.g. makestep 1.0 3), and an rtcsync line. (Authored config, graded structurally — the engine isn't run here.)
