1 There will be a leap second between 051231 235959 & 060101 000000 .
2 Does anyone know how the time servers used by NTP handle this ?
3 Is it just left to the local machine to realise it's 1 sec fast
4 & adjust over a few hours or does something else alert it to correct things ?
5 If the former, it could create problems for those running experiments;
6 if the latter, does anyone know how it is done ?
7 The last leap second was 1998/9 , before NTP was widely used.
