Is anybody running ntpd with their Z3801A? If so, please check your log files and tell me if you see a bogus leap second at the end of the past several months. I've seen them for Aug, Sep, and Oct. I think they are coming from my Z3801A, but it might be something else.
The GPS satellites are now announcing a leap second that will happen at the end of the year. The refclock driver passes that to ntpd and ntpd passes it to the kernel and magic happens. I think the refclock-ntpd interface assumes the leap second will happen at the end of the current month. NIST only announces leap seconds a month ahead on WWVB and ACTS. The Oncore refclock driver has a filter to wait until the current month to pass the info to ntpd. I'm working on something similar for the HP driver. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
