One of our customers is concerened about his application around this. Could one of you NTP wizards help me to understand NTP a bit better. First, I wonder if we suppressed the leap second insert and time then became out of sync by a second, would NTP "creap" the time back in sync or would the one second out of sync cause it to quit? Assuming NTP would do the "creap" thing, is there a way to tell NTP not to insert the leap second? -- George Anzinger george@mvista.com HRT (High-res-timers): http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
