Subject: NTP leap second question
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 11:39:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43286E4B.1070809@mvista.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1126720398.3455.58.camel@cog.beaverton.ibm.com>

It appears that a leap second is scheduled.  One of our customers is 
concerened about his application around this.  Could one of you NTP 
wizards help me to understand NTP a bit better.

First, I wonder if we suppressed the leap second insert and time then 
became out of sync by a second, would NTP "creap" the time back in sync 
or would the one second out of sync cause it to quit?

Assuming NTP would do the "creap" thing, is there a way to tell NTP not 
to insert the leap second?
