Solved leapsecond experied what to do?

userxbw · Jan 9, 2020

I googled this got this page. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/leapseconds-file-expired.56645/

while working it out by following what they did to fix it, I am not getting the same results. I added the two items in the rc.conf

Code:

ntp_leapfile_fetch_verbose="YES"
ntp_leapfile_sources="ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/ntp/leap-seconds.list"

and still seeing this and that message leapsecond file expired.

Code:

[userx@FreeBSD ~]$ sudo service ntpd onefetch
ntp_src_leapfile version is 3676924800 expires 3786480000
ntp_db_leapfile version is 3676924800 expires 3802291200
not replacing /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list with /etc/ntp/leap-seconds

Contact NIST if your leapsecond is ~~experied~~ experienced for more than one second... ?

3 676 924 800 is less than 3 786 480 000 so of course it has not expired yet. That's a notification, not an error

I guess it's solved, I;ve been seeing that for so long, I thought I'd investage it, maybe I need to stop reading messages on boot screen ..

This setting worked /etc/rc.conf:

Code:

ntp_src_leapfile="/etc/ntp/leap-seconds"
ntp_db_leapfile="/var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list"
ntp_leapfile_sources="https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list"
ntp_leapfile_fetch_opts="-mq"
ntp_leapfile_expiry_days=30
ntp_leapfile_fetch_verbose="NO"

Actual URL need change in /etc/rc.conf::

Code:

ntp_leapfile_sources="https://data.iana.org/time-zones/data/leap-seconds.list"

I would Prefer not to OverWrite the PreDefined Variable ${ntp_leapfile_sources}, but to Complement It. This is just a Fragment of My «/etc/rc.conf.local» (or «/etc/rc.conf»), Tested on IPv4-Only and IPv6-Only VPSes:

I understand that This ↑ is Cumbersome, but it is Universal…
P.S. I Used «Code=bash» Tags because of «FoRums.FreeBSD.Org» does not ColoRise «Code=sh» Tags. But All This is Pure SH.
