I just wanted to understand in a better way regarding the leap second bug.Our Linux servers receive time from the windows PDC services, As per the update from the Microsoft regarding the leap second, time difference is resolved at the next time synchronization. since our Linux machines are polling time from windows PDC services via NTP should we have to worry? Also, these PDC services are synchronized with the NTP device located in central London which is using BST, as per the leap second announcement from Redhat, it's mentioned that this would affect only UTC, so I just wanted to know whether do we have to make any changes on our server.Also, this leap second bug affects server via devices syncing with NTP server, then what about the server which is not connected to the server, how do those servers handle the leap second...
