Hello Keith,

another possibility would be to use the timesync daemon provided by systemd:

Replace the whole file with template or file module, then you know that file will be correct.

If you don't want to do that you can use lineinfile module to replace line(s).

That is out of the scope for this list, this is about Ansible.
What you are asking about is how to configure Chrony.

You should search up a mailing list, a support forum for Chrony or read
