Five different ways to handle leap seconds with NTP
Without switching to chronyd, ntpd -x sounds not too suboptimal:
With ntpd, the kernel backward step is used by default. With ntpd versions before 4.2.6, or 4.2.6 and later patched for this bug, the -x option (added to /etc/sysconfig/ntpd) can be used to disable the kernel leap second correction and ignore the leap second as far as the local clock is concerned. The one-second error gained after the leap second will be measured and corrected later by slewing in normal operation using NTP servers which already corrected their local clocks.
It’s all pretty messy though :((tags: ntpd ntp chronyd clocks time synchronization via:fanf linux leap-seconds)
