SubjectRe: NTP leap second question
The simplest way to achieve this is to:
a) Hack ntpd to "not notice" the leap-second announce bits 01 in
the packet header and pretend they're actually 00. This will
make it not insert a leap second.
b) Run it with the -x flag so that it always slews the time.

The real solution would be to implement Markus Kuhn's UTS proposal
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/uts.txt), which is about the most
reasonable meshing of the expectation that there are 86400
seconds per day with the fact that there are not.
