>Description:
By default, if "xntpd_enable" is set to "YES" in rc.conf, divectory
/var/log/ntpstats fills with stat files quite rapidly.
In four months this directory accumulated over 7 megabytes of files, which
is close to half size of my /var/partition (20 Mb, which should be sufficient
IMHO).
I think that there should be a script "clean-ntpstats" in /etc/periodic/daily
that would clean up this directory, removing files that are older than, say
three days.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set "xntpd_enable" to YES in /etc/rc.conf.
>Fix:
Place this script in /etc/periodic/daily:
--------------8<--------------8<---------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/periodic/daily/160.clean-ntpstats
#
if [ -d /var/log/ntpstats ] ; then
echo ""
echo "Removing stale files from /var/log/ntpstats:"
cd /var/log/ntpstats && find * -atime +3 -delete
fi
