Cisco seems happy as well. (adding leap second, leap second occurs at), etc.
>sh ntp status
Clock is synchronized (adding leap second), stratum 2, reference is
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nominal freq is 250.0000 Hz, actual freq is 249.9975 Hz, precision is 2**18
reference time is C7617E39.3A0B3D8C (17:01:29.226 EST Sat Dec 31 2005)
clock offset is 0.5332 msec, root delay is 5.11 msec
root dispersion is 7.72 msec, peer dispersion is 7.14 msec
Leap second occurs at C7619A00.00000000 (19:00:00.000 EST Sat Dec 31 2005)
Happy New Year!

Just a reminder, at midnight UTC there's a leap second added to most
time systems.
Some time systems will stop the clock at 23:59:59.999999 for 1
second, some will display 23:59:60 for a second.
Since the last leap second (1998), "leap second aware" time keeping
systems(NTP, GPS, etc) have become much more prevalent, so it's much
more likely this time that applications and NTP sync'ed devices will
see a leap second happen(rather than have them manually corrected
later, or not corrected at all). But, I'm not too sure how well
everyone has tested applications and devices for how they handle the
clock stopping for a second OR an "invalid" time of 23:59:60.
If anyone sees anything die at 00:00:00UTC I'd be interested to know.
