Under wine it complained 'file not found' on my system for each host. It may be my system, as I use wine rarely. Would you mind providing the source code? The bad thing with ntpd and leap seconds is that it takes any single bit of leap info for the truth, even if it comes from just one server and all other servers say otherwise. This is especially strange as there's put a lot of effort in ntpd to prevent the feed of false time information. I used to block leap-info in the firewall, but since I switched to iptables I let all ntp traffic pass. My system is also incorrectly providing leap info right now :-( Does anyone have iptables rules to block it again? Arnold BTW you can run Linux on almost any x86 system without installation from a bootable Live CD or DVD.
