I've curious about where and how Centos 7 gets its ntp configuration from.
When I installed the operating system, I went through this page and told it to use "network time", as shown:

I just discovered that i don't actually have ntp installed on this computer, though the rpm does exist when I search for it with yum.
I do have ntpdate installed, but can't find any configuration files that specify the timeservers that it's supposed to be using.
I don't have a /etc/ntp.conf file, and a grep of /var/log/messages doesn't yield any lines containing the string ntp either.
My computer's clock is not inaccurate, so I guess that ntp is working somewhere behind the scenes here, but it sure is well hidden.
Where is ntp and its configuration hiding? Why isn't it logging what it's doing?
Maybe You have installed chrony instead of ntp.
