Confirmed. 'show ntp status' was showing master (USNO) in desync; now that NTP resynced, the dot disapparead. May be USNO has become a bit overloaded with NTP requests soon after the roll-over. Rubens Kuhl Jr.

I have seen it before, it doesnt have anything to do with Y2k, just with Cisco being iffy on time.

Notice the dot before the time; it was not appearing before, and even on the first sample after GMT Y2K-rollover (local time is GMT -0200). It now shows up on every 'show clock'.

Any similar results on any other Cisco shop ?
