Unfortunately, there isn't much overlap between the servers I'm
monitoring and the servers you're using, so I can't add much. From
the refids, I have info for machines in UNC, gatech and he.net, and
none of them were advertising leap seconds.

OK. looks like about an 8us standard deviation, which is not bad.
strange that it would have drifted by about that over the past few
months. The spread  is at about what I get for stratum 2 chrony machines on my
network fed off a stratum 1 gps driven chrony machine.


The drift down over months is actually an artefact of using MRTG to 
record very low numbers, not in the actual recorded offset, sigh!

Chris, just one small point, you can replace the four individual pool 
server statements with a single line:


  pool  us.pool.ntp.org  iburst

It may make your configuration file neater, and NTP will automatically 
select the most appropriate number of pool servers.  See:


  http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/setup.html#pool

Can't help further with the leap-second, other than the tool I've 
already offered.

 Perhaps last years cause was in the windows port of ntp?

I think we need to know who the OP has as his ntp servers. And if it is

(Shrug) The pool allows for stratum 4 servers;
 Windows PCs probably reach the level of expectation most
  would have for S4 servers.

Windows-8 allows you to make quite reasonable stratum-1 servers (and 
earlier versions are not too bad either with the various enhancements 
made by Dave Hart and others).  Here's the offset for one Windows-8 system:


  http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/stamsund_ntp_2.html

and with a greater resolution:

  http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/stamsund_ntp_40.html

More than good enough for serving others across the Internet, even if 
not up to FreeBSD or Linux capabilities, and /much/ better than 
stratum-2 or higher servers.

Either a file on your PC, or updtream ntp servers you use?

 Probably some Linux machine running a ancient version of NTP
  for no _good_ reason, as they so often do.

   I love policies that won't let you run the current version,
that has hundreds (thousands ?) more bugs fixed over the last decade,
than the version that is in a distro,
and policy won't let it be replaced, removed, or fixed.

I see Fedora 18 is using ntp 4.2.6p5 which is the current stable (2011Dec)
