Serge,

"All" means all the survivors of the clustering algorithm.

Another good question is how NTP will behave on different references
showing different leap bits: Will it absolutely trust the current sync
peer, or will it make a majority decision?


The ntp daemon will take the bitwise OR of all sources leap bits. Though
I don't know what exactly means "all" here: Really all reachable, all
survivors, all candidates, or such. A single leap=01 source wins over
any number of leap=00 refclocks, servers, and NIST leapsecond files.



Also, can a bit mistakenly set via one reference be cleared by another
reference? (Or malicuosly be reset?)


No. But I have a plan to change that, permitting to a valid NIST
leapsecond file to master daemon's leap bits.


Serge.
