I've had a similar problem some weeks ago, and the only solution was
a modification of the source code. I wanted to use xntpd with a DCF-77
time code receiver, which had a lot of receiving errors during the day,
each producing a log message. I changed the line
openlog(cp, LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_NTP);
to
openlog(cp, LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_LOCAL0);
and made the following line in /etc/syslog.conf
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit;local0.none /dev/console
*.err;local0.none root
*.notice;auth.debug;local0.none root
*.alert;local0.none root
*.emerg;local0.none *
!xntpd
*.* /var/log/xntpd
and it works well. If you get another solution please let ne know!
Regards
Lars
