>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
