I grabbed a set if IP#'s from pool.ntp.org and monitored them in the 24 hours before and 8 hours after the leap. Out of a set of 12 IP#'s two public stratum 1 servers never set the leap bit, but did apply the leapsecond locally. One of the 12 was a stratum 1 using DCF signal, and that one as expected only set the leap warning one hour before the event. Ten hours after the event, two stratum 3 servers in the set still had the leap warning bits set. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
