Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Checking the out of systemctl status ntp.service after restart of an
Debian 10 system with NTPd running
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
systemctl stop ntp.service
systemctl start ntp.service
systemctl status ntp.service
view /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list
* What was the outcome of this action?
Nov 11 20:18:05 myhostname ntpd[11542]: leapsecond file
('/usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list'): good hash signature
Nov 11 20:18:05 myhostname ntpd[11542]: leapsecond file
('/usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list'): loaded,
expire=2020-12-28T00:00:00Z last=2017-01-01T00:00:00Z ofs=3
/usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list [ IERS Bulletin C59 ] expires on
28 December 2020
[...]
# Updated through IERS Bulletin C59
# File expires on: 28 December 2020
[...]
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Please refer to the new version C60:
https://www.iers.org/IERS/EN/Publications/Bulletins/bulletins.html
The leap second file is recommended to be used in a valid version:
See for example
https://kb.meinbergglobal.com/kb/time_sync/ntp/configuration/ntp_leap_second_file#expiration_date
/usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list refering to IERS Bulletin C Number
60
If the impact of an invalid leap-seconds.list on ntp clients and server
is known as more severe
please change the severity to level 3 (serious).
Thank you in adance.
Best Regards
Jens
