Cisco seems happy as well. (adding leap second, leap second occurs at), etc. >sh ntp statusClock is synchronized (adding leap second), stratum 2, reference is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

But, I'm not too sure how well everyone has tested applications and devices for how they handle the clock stopping for a second OR an "invalid" time of 23:59:60.If anyone sees anything die at 00:00:00UTC I'd be interested to know. -- KevinMy Juniper seems to be aware: xxx@juniper> show ntp status status=4694 leap_add_sec, sync_ntp, 9 events, event_peer/strat_chg, version="ntpd 4.1.0-a Thu Jul 14 23:46:40 GMT 2005 (1)", processor="i386", system="JUNOS7.3R1.5", leap=01, stratum=3, precision=-30, rootdelay=40.669, rootdispersion=49.522, peer=35302, refid=ntpx.xxx.xxx, reftime=c7615c1c.65f78359 Sat, Dec 31 2005 13:35:56.398, poll=10, clock=c7615d8e.d66d698f Sat, Dec 31 2005 13:42:06.837, state=4, offset=-2.649, frequency=73.810, jitter=5.194, stability=0.024 note the leap=01 and leap_add_sec
