Similarly, the drift file is named ntp.drift except in poorly configured
FreeBSD installations.  ntp sources in contrib have 80 lines matching
ntp\.drift and 2 lines matching ntpd.drift.  FreeBSD should only change
the directory containing the drift file from /etc to /var/db or /var/db/ntp,
not the file name.
