the perl script really looks like some "work in progress". The reason it
cannot find the leapfile mentioned in ntpd.conf is simply because it
uses a deficient regex to parse the configuration file.
I made 2 simple changes to the script:
48c48
< my $NTPCONF="/etc/ntpd.conf";
---
> my $NTPCONF="/etc/ntp.conf";
306c306
< if (/^\s*leapfile\s+"?(\S+)"?/) {
---
> if (/^ *leapfile\s+"(\S+)"/) {
The regex is looking for quotes - I made them optional in the regex.
Tschau...Thomas
