I hate spam.
Here's a super-fun kludge I've thought about making an implementation for, but would never ever use operationally. The these time servers can be SNMP polled and information on leap seconds are available through the enterprise's MIB. I could script up something that polls these guys for leap second information, and when it finds it, automagically updates the system's timezone files. Or if I have a hacked up NTP code base, the ntp.conf with appropriate offsets. Very Rube Goldberg. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
