Yes, I sent the internal note to the wrong alias (this one), but yes, NTPd is now updated to 4.2.8p3 for ALL supported releases:  r151006 (old LTS), r151012 (prev. Stable), r151014 (LTS & Stable), and bloody.

Turns out, not ONLY does this revision better handle tonight's leapsecond, it also has a small vulnerability fix:

So please utter "pkg update" and restart your NTP service, just to be safe.

Thanks!
Dan
