Yehuda,

thanks. I already learned about chrony-wait for postfix. I will apply it to httpd as well; Roundcubemail will need it...

There are some parts of the HTTP conversation which could be affected by having the wrong time, but HTTPD itself doesn't care. For example, if you are using cookies, caching, those could be affected by the time change (even more specifically, for PHP sessions, when the clock changes, the PHP session cleanup handler might think a session is very old and remove it). If you want to wait for the time to be synchronized, I think you can change the systemd unit to require chrony-wait.service (https://git.tuxfamily.org/chrony/chrony.git/tree/examples/chrony-wait.service)

    This is for Centos7 on an armv7 SOC with no clock battery.

    On startup, Centos runs Chronyd which eventually sets the system
    clock.  This can happen really fast, or not depending.  I have
    learned that it is NOT a good thing for postfix to start when the
    system time is earlier than the build date of postfix.  There is a
    way for me to delay postfix start until the time is set.

    Does Apache also have this concern not to start until the time is
    'fixed'?

    thanks
