While I can't say anything broke on our network as a result of the leap second, a good percentage of our gear lost NTP sync or had some kind of NTP problem around midnight UTC. You may want to check your NTP status at some point, in case something drifted quite a way off and won't step itself back now because the difference is too great.
I watched my Tru64 5.1B and Linux 2.2-2.6 servers (NTP wasn't running on my Solaris 9 server accidentally) and Juniper and Cisco gear, and they all stayed in sync. The Linux systems logged: Dec 31 17:59:59 kosh kernel: Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC 17:59:59 lasted 2 seconds in local time (since the normal time zone data doesn't pass through leap seconds). I saw the following from JUNOS: Dec 31 18:00:00 hsvrouter /kernel: microuptime() went backwards (8144133.847075 -> 8144132.881330) Tru64 and Cisco didn't log anything. -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
