Did your systems survive the leap second?

Yet again, signs of insanity in the ntp department:

     remote           local      st poll reach  delay   offset    disp
=======================================================================
=127.127.1.0     127.0.0.1       10   64    0 0.00000  0.000000 3.99217
=69.64.72.238    10.3.1.111       2  256  377 0.03653  1.004648 0.11946
*108.59.14.130   10.3.1.111       2  256  377 0.09084  0.005996 0.10413
=216.129.110.22  10.3.1.111       2  256  377 0.08861 -0.008799 0.07570

Check out that offset on the second entry! Yep. A peer used by one of my ntp instances decided to go rogue or otherwise decided it was time for a stroll in the weeds. Fortunately, this is just a testing laptop I grabbed for this afternoon's "event" and it isn't doing anything meaningful.

It looks like things are fine here, at least.

How'd your systems do? It seems some people had a bad time with this whole thing.
