[opensuse] Reminder Leap Second 2015 Today - older openSuSE systems
All, Just a reminder that older 11/12 system may not handle the leapsecond today gracefully. If using ntp, placing ntp in 'slew mode' will allow for graceful handling of the second. The attached script, if run before 7/1 will place ntp in slew mode, and if run after 7/1 will restore the original configuration. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

If ntp is running as a daemon, it should always be in slew mode. That should be the default. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It's not, the '-x' option is required. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Too late, it should have been done 24 hours before leap second.

Not to late. I did it this morning and on restart it just jumped the slew a bit: ntpd: time slew -0.002628s I don't know if ntp interpolates the addition or uses some other logic. Marcus - this was still 11.0 (an old Fax server box (with a T-bird Athlon chip) that has been running since 2001 -- they don't make 'em like they used do ;-) -- David C.

If you updated your system in the last years you should be fine. If you are still running your 2012 system without updates... well. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
