I don't see how rotating its own logs is a problem, but I can go with the paranoia and agree to a cron job. If so, I'd like to see a standard cron job in the official tarball. Trusting the user, or distro, to get it right is also a security risk. Maybe even some config files for common log rollers, like logger. In providing same we also warn people not to do the obvious and just restart ntpd with their log roller, which does bad things...
