No, the linux clocks counted: 1230768021..1230768022..1230768023..1230768024..1230768025 where 1230768024 is 2009-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. What gets output by any given userland apps depends on those apps. If one uses the Olsen tz database, the right zonefiles rather than the posix zonefiles, and a libc such as glibc, then one will have seen the seconds tick off 58..59..60..00..01. But that is purely a userland issue. If one uses the (lobotomized) posix zonefiles, one will have seen the seconds tick off 21..22..23..24..25. (Interesting coincidence there, that 1970 through 2008 (inclusive) has a number of days divisible by 5. Which makes for a nice, even 1230768000 seconds, were there no leap seconds.) -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
