>Description:
The FreeBSD ntpd(8) daemon logs to the LOG_NTP facility. Users who
replace this daemon with the openntpd port might expect the same
behaviour.
As OpenNTPD is developed by the OpenBSD project, where syslog(3) does
not include LOG_NTP, their daemon uses the LOG_DAEMON facility. These
logs are faily verbose:
Jun 29 20:42:27 irk ntpd[719]: ntp engine ready
Jun 29 20:42:44 irk ntpd[719]: peer 10.10.10.2 now valid
Jun 29 20:43:39 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 1.180681s
Jun 29 20:45:48 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 1.180783s
Jun 29 20:46:22 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.786388s
Jun 29 20:50:42 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.668906s
Jun 29 20:55:06 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.606314s
Jun 29 20:57:13 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.491739s
Jun 29 21:00:26 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.373368s
Jun 29 21:04:15 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.241557s
Jun 29 21:12:01 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by 0.138065s
Jun 29 21:37:28 irk ntpd[718]: adjusting local clock by -0.134400s
It would be preferable for these logs to end up in the same place as
other NTP messages.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Configure syslogd(8) to send NTP messages to their own logfile
2. Install and start openntpd
3. Wonder why the logfile is empty
>Fix:
This patch changes the default syslog facility to LOG_NTP. Users who
prefer the current behaviour can build the port with
SYSLOG_FACILITY=LOG_DAEMON
