I don't understand the complicated interactions that make a leap second confuse a computer more than the RTC running slow confuses it, but this issue did indeed go away after a reboot (and I'm pretty sure I didn't see the problem till after midnight UTC which is when the leap second would have happened). They really ought to switch to a new version of NTP protocol that is just like the old one, but works from TAI and sends a database of leap second info around as well so computers can translate TAI into UTC. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
