It will ignore the 2-second offset because it's in that 10-second interval around the leap. If the offset was larger than 10/11 seconds and the clock couldn't be corrected by step, it would get the one-second error in measurements accepted before getting close to the leap. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-users-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
