Pardon the ignorance if this is a stupid question. I've been looking at some of my hosts and have noticed a message "Clock: inserting leap second 23:59:60 UTC" in dmesg output but each of the hosts is in the EDT timezone so the I was under the impression that the leap second hadn't been applied yet. So what does that mean? That the systems have applied the leap second successfully or have only received it from their NTP servers?

The leap second is applied at midnight UTC time, regardless of what timezone the server is in.

Okay, so does that mean that the various bugs that have been circulating can still hit as it hasn't hit midnight in EDT yet or can I exhale?
