Leap second for year 2015
I hear the Leap second for 2015 will occur on June 30 at 23:59:60 according to the wild rumours from internet the expected impact ranges from crashing to hanging servers.
Can anybody share their preparations what they have done for solaris servers? are there any patches to install or workaround?
For those interested in HP servers can take a look at this.

Hi All,
We are running the HP-UX 11.11 and Linux AS 3.0. so, shall we need to make any changes for leap second i.e. insert the leap second on 1st Jan 2006 or does the system have some setup which would take care of this automatically.
Please advise.
