I just built a fresh CubieTruck install and booted it up (of course partitions on the HD, and only uboot on a 4Gb mSD card).

I did not log in right away, and when I did, I noticed the time was correct. A check showed:

instructions to install chronyd is not needed. It is already part of the base image.
