So, if I understand, I have to:

1 - download ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.3427142400
2 - rename the file to ntp.leapseconds and put it in /etc
3 - stop and start ntpd
4 - verify the warning bits

It should be done at primary servers and the others would get
automatically the file if using autokey.

It could be done also at any stratum if one don't trust the references
regarding this issue.

Don't having the file, and if not using autokey and references with the
information, the client will relay at information from the majority of
survivor references. If they warn the leapsecond, the client will get it
correctly.

Is this correct?

Thanks.
Antonio M. Moreiras.
