vasanth,

Configure a server with local clock driver. Download the NIST 
leapseconds file. Set the server time shortly before the leap. 
Synchronize the client to the server. Watch what happens.

?? Why not just read the source code to see what it does. 
And ntp will ONLY adjust leapsecond on June 30 or Dec 31 of the year when
the leapsecond warning bit is set, so your experiment will only occur in 2
weeks time, and will then take  6 months till it can be tried again. 

The client does nothing with that information except set the leap second
warning bit, and at 23:59:59 of Dec 31 will insert an extra second.

You need to specify the version of the OS and configuration options that 
affect whether or not the kernel time discipline is used.  The protocol 
doesn't specify how the local clock is handled, only what gets sent 
downstream.

[ntp:questions] Regarding Leap second adjustments

2008-12-17 Thread vasanth raonaik
Hello Hackers,

I am doing research on leap second adjustments in NTP. I would like to
simulate the scenario with two machines one acting as ntp server and other
as ntp client. server should send a leap second adjustment notification to
client and I would like to record the steps the client takes with this
notification. Could any one please let me know where i can hard code in
server to send the LS (leap second bit set) to send to client.

I am new to NTP please provide some pointers for understanding.

Thanks,
Vasanth
