The ntp daemon will take the bitwise OR of all sources leap bits. Though I don't know what exactly means "all" here: Really all reachable, all survivors, all candidates, or such. A single leap=01 source wins over any number of leap=00 refclocks, servers, and NIST leapsecond files. > Also, can a bit mistakenly set via one reference be cleared by another > reference? (Or malicuosly be reset?) No. But I have a plan to change that, permitting to a valid NIST leapsecond file to master daemon's leap bits.
