Our systems all have loopstats and peerstats logging enabled. I have those log files available if interested. However, when I searched over the files I wasn't able to find anything that seemed to indicate this was the peer who told the system to introduce a leap second. That said, I might just not know what to look for in the logs.
Look at the status word in peerstats; if the high bit is set, that's your huckleberry. See: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/decode.html
Correct, I was hoping to determine which peer it was so I can reach out to them to make sure this doesn't bleed in to the pool at the end of the year. I was also more-or-less curious how wide-spread of an issue this was, but I'm starting to think I may have been the only person to catch it in the act. :)
You might want to upgrade to current 4.2.7 development code, wherein a majority rule is used to qualify the leap indicator. Cheers, --msa
