Hi Warner,
I was trying to check Ian's specific concern, that a valid source
of leap seconds might be ignored if a expired leapseconds file was
present. It seems that this is not the case, at lease based on my
reading of the code and comments. I included the references to the
code, so others could check if they wanted.
I actually suggested configuring the leapseconds file by default
to try and improve the vagueries of accepting advertised leap seconds
that you mentioned.

Interestingly, this code seems to be gone from ntp_loopfilter.c and
based on a quick look through the rest of the code, I can't see a
similar general check. Some of the refclocks do retain this condition,
but the general code path doesn't seem to. Possibly we should take
this up with the NTP guys as a check worth retaining?
David.
