https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D262391 Bug ID: 262391 Summary: ntp.conf contains wrong information regarding leapfile Product: Base System Version: 13.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dclarke@blastwave.org The default ntp.conf file has a comment on the bottom that says :=20 # See http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/ConfiguringNTP#Section_6.14. # for documentation regarding leapfile. Updates to the file can be obtained # from ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/ or ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/ntp/. # Use either leapfile in /etc/ntp or periodically updated leapfile in /var/= db. #leapfile "/etc/ntp/leap-seconds" However, as far as I can tell, neither of those ftp sites exist. The dns records for either do not exist. However one may attain the recent leap seconds file from : https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list See bottom of : https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/ConfiguringNTP#Section_6.14. A trivial fetch "just works" :=20 europa#=20 europa# uname -apKU=20 FreeBSD europa 13.0-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p7 #0: Mon Jan 31 18:24= :03 UTC 2022=20=20=20=20 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC= =20 amd64 amd64 1300139 1300139 europa#=20 europa# fetch https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list=20 fetch: https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list: size of remote file is not known leap-seconds.list 10 kB 3151 kBps = 00s europa#=20 europa# ls -l leap-seconds.list=20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 10659 Oct 22 02:20 leap-seconds.list europa#=20 europa# file leap-seconds.list=20 leap-seconds.list: ASCII text europa#=20 europa# wc -l leap-seconds.list=20 255 leap-seconds.list europa#=20 europa# head leap-seconds.list=20 # # In the following text, the symbol '#' introduces # a comment, which continues from that symbol until # the end of the line.
