Sorry for getting off-topic .. but... > 23:59:60 is the same (if wold exist) like 00:00:00 and this is the New > year... No: 23:59:60 is not the same as 00:00:00 http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eoppc/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat So 31.12.2008 will be 86401 seconds long instead of 86400 seconds. But anyway.. your good old wall-clock (or ntp server ;-) ) doesn't care :) Regards, Adrian ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Unless you live in UTC, the leap second will hit you here in Switzerland (CET) on January 1st, 2009, at 00:59:60 :-) According to the wiki page you cited in an earlier mail...
