If you don’t have NTP enabled your clock may be wrong so it likely won’t impact you. I’ve always had trouble getting NTP to work right over the years for a variety of reasons. Just set something in cron to ntpdate -u your host on july 1st and you should be good. - Jared

Oh it is a problem, and most handle it very ungracefully, such as dovecot which just dies:

The issue is also most people are used to using rc.local or rc.* type scripts to spawn a daemon which leads to the next major sysadmin/developer problem with is handling error cases improperly or not at all. (86401 is perhaps and error case that people should test for).
