The current NTP protocol, as implemented by ntpd, distributes leap-second information if provided. This information may be provided by higher-stratum (upstream) NTP servers, or by using the "leapfile" configuration statement in ntp.conf to specify a local copy of the leapseconds file in NIST/USNO format. No such file is provided by default. We could easily do so, but shouldn't, because that file would take precedence over the leap indicator learned from higher-stratum servers, and that's not desirable for clients. If you're running a bunch of servers, you should distribute and install the leapseconds file using your configuration-management system. (For example, my puppet module for NTP, which we use at CSAIL for three NTP servers, does so: <https://github.com/gwollman/puppet-ntp>.) -GAWollman _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
