Title:
ntpd -x steps clock on leap second (upstream bug: 2745)
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ntp source package in Trusty:
New
Bug description:
in http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2745
| With older versions it was possible to use the -x option to avoid upsetting
| applications running on the system when the clock is stepped due to a leap
| second.
|
| It seems in 4.2.6 was added support for inserting/deleting leap seconds on
| systems without kernel discipline. However, the clock is now stepped even
when
| the -x option or tinker step is used to disable stepping.
I'm not sure this bug could affect Ubuntu's ntp packages, but I
believe that this information is IMPORTANT for some ubuntu users.
