Unix and ntp handle leap seconds a bit differently. Unix time increases during the leap second and drops back a second after. Ntp freezes time during the leap second. OS kernels may do either or neither.
Does anyone have a succinct summary of how to prove to management-types that a given linux box won't have a problem with the leap second? Like kernel > some_version, tzdata > some_version, tzdata-java > some_version?
