[ale] NTP/Chrony time zone persistence

Wed Sep 14 10:00:24 EDT 2016

hwclock Wed 14 Sep 2016 06:47:15 AM PDT  -0.896088 seconds
date Wed Sep 14 06:47:23 PDT 2016

Then if I reboot, note how server drops back 3 hrs:
hwclock Wed 14 Sep 2016 06:49:07 AM PDT  -0.364745 seconds
date Wed Dec 14 03:50:17 PST 2016

Then if I run ntpdate 192.168.50.246 (the IP of the AD DC), I am back to
the correct time:
hwclock Wed 14 Sep 2016 06:51:06 AM PDT  -0.302285 seconds
date Wed Sep 14 06:51:14 PDT 2016

In ntp.conf and in chrony.conf I have:

server 192.168.50.246

But it lacks persistence. Chronyd service shows as loaded and active, but
it's not updating against the DC.
