Hey all, I'm trying to simulate a leap second on a cluster of Ubuntu AWS instances via NTP, and I could use some help. I've set up a basic NTP server with a leapfile as described here:
https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/LeapSecondTest The server's warning for the upcoming leap second seems to propogate to the clients, as I see `leap_armed` in the output for `ntpq -c rl` before midnight, and `leap_event` afterwards. However, when I loop `date -u` over the leap second, I don't see a leap second getting inserted -- I expect 23:59:59 to last for 2 seconds, but it doesn't. The time goes straight from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 the next day. In addition, I don't see any information about inserted leap seconds in the logs when I search with `dmesg | grep leap` or `sudo grep leap /var/log/syslog`. Am I missing something? I can provide more information on request. Jim Witschey _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
