I'm having an interesting experience with one of my
Debian machines.  I've got a few, all synchronized
with ntp.  One of them always reports the time as
20 seconds slow.

As an example, I do this:
---

radha# date ; date +%s
Tue Jun 23 09:41:48 EDT 1998
898609308

--- and at the same time I do this

krishna# date ; date +%s
Tue Jun 23 09:41:28 EDT 1998
898609308

--

Radha returns the correct time, Krishna is 20 seconds
late. Please note that I am getting 2 different time
strings for the same time integer.

I'm sure somebody knows what's going on.  They're
both running bo with libc5.4.38-1 and
shellutils 1.16-2.

Maybe Krishna doesn't know about leap-seconds?

TIA

- Marsh
