The working copy of leapfile resides in /var/dbntpd.leap-seconds.list.
/etc/ntp/leap-seconds (periodically updated from ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/
or ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/ntp/) contains the master copy should
automatic leapfile updates be disabled (default).
Automatic leapfile updates are fetched from $ntp_leapfile_sources,
defaulting to https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list,
within $ntp_leapfile_expiry_days (default 30 days) from leap-seconds
file expiry. Automatic updates can be enabled by setting
$daily_ntpd_leapfile_enable="YES" in periodic.conf. To avoid congesting
the ntp leapfile source the automatic update randomized by default but
can be disabled through daily_ntpd_avoid_congestion="NO" in
periodic.conf.

to NTP access restriction documentation.
The new default restrictions would allow only time queries from a
remote system and will KoD all other requests, but still allow
localhost to do make all requests.
These restrictions are also recommended for all Internet-facing
public NTP servers.
This changeset is intended for an instant MFC to stable/10 and
releng/10.0.
2) Point people at the pool website and encourage
people to provide a server in the pool (as a
courtesy to the pool guys).
3) Fix a spelling.
4) Comment out the local clock and include a link
to documentation for use of the local clock on
the ntp.org site.

This NTP configuration file points to the [012].pool.ntp.org servers,
which will return a list of geographical local NTP servers.
It uses the best-practice options of "iburst" and "maxpoll 9".
It gives examples on how to use the "restrict" commands, which are
unfortunately not working when you use the pool.ntp.org servers.
It sets up a fudge server so any clients syncing against this server
will always be synced even if we lose the master.
The idea of this file was briefly discussed on -net.
