      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
