Yes, Chrony does that (as I mentioned). An additional cool feature in
Chrony is that it also can monitor the inaccuracy of the RTC (hardware
realtime clock) in your PC, and offset the clock appropriately on
power up. so, not only does it deal with the clock drifting while the
system is powered on, but also when powered off. Cool, eh?
