I thought this was some sort of late April fools joke, untill I read the article about ntpd on slashdot.
I'm sort of curious about how a bug of this magnitude slips through the QA process (into java and RHEL, not CentOS). With all the furor about y2k, did no one even bother to simulate a leap second ahead of the real occurrence?
My Centos 5.8 box is running ntpd, and I did not notice any problems with it. I do a weekly yum update early Sunday mornings, but AFAIR I have not rebooted the box yet.
I don't think it affected 5.x.
