>Description:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/audit-administration.html

contains this example:

Adding the following line to /etc/crontab will force the rotation every twelve hours from cron(8):

*     */12       *       *       *       root    /usr/sbin/audit -n

Unless I'm mistaken, that will run once a minute for an hour every twelve hours, not, not once as is implied.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Change example to:

0       */12    *       *       *       root    /usr/sbin/audit -n

>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
