As I recall, yes, 4.2.6p5 will notice when the leapseconds file has been updated and it will reload it. I do know that 4.2.6 was a lot more noisy about the leapsecond file, and I don't recall how often it checked for changes (I think it was once a day). I'll mention (again) that we fixed over 1100 issues between 4.2.6 and 4.2.8. H _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
