Hello, Thomas and all,
What about using the "leapfile" setting? Do you recommend that?
Personally, I use and recommend it.
When I ask my server about the leap second coming up
next weekend, it knows about that:
$ ntpq -c "rv 0 leapsec" 127.0.0.1
leapsec=201207010000
I like that.
I retrieved my leapsec file from ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.list
a while ago.
On the minus side, I feel I'll have to change my settings again
sometime between this leap second and the next. Either remove
the leapfile again, or remember to retrieve the new leap file
that _has_ that next leap second, whenever that becomes available.
I'll probably do both.
Regards, Andreas
