This can be proved by running an isolated test machine without ntp, and setting the time on it to Dec 31th, see what happens in the log. My bet is it adds the leap second.
I'll be happy to test that tomorrow.
Well, I've installed Leap421 on a desktop, I've set the time to 23:50 31/12/2016. There is no ntp running nor installed, how do I now tell if the leap second is introduced or not?
I tried with 42.2 the same thing, and didn't see anything in the log. One way to check is write a little script that loops and print the time to a file (with milliseconds precision at least), then sleeps a second. I used that trick ages ago to test for an issue I had. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
