NTPSec pulls in Python3 which eats up close to 50% of our rootfs partition. Chrony was picked for its lightweight characteristics. No further investigation is done on the exposure of chrony to NTP amplification attacks. commit fixes #109

Why limit is 5? I am not very well-versed in terminology, but all examples suggest 3.
Same for driftfile -- all examples listed it.

driftfile: I want to limit file writes to eMMC, As a consequence this means that there is a potential for the clock to drift during startup. This is mitigated byrtcsyncoption, were we put more emphasis on making the RTC ticks leading.makestep: since we don't write a drift file i want to instruct chrony to be a bit more aggressive with syncing the time by allowing more steps to sync to the correct time
