The default rc.conf variable ntp_leapfile_expiry_days is set to 30, so it is
only fetched once every 30 days even though it is checked daily. Still, the
comment is incorrect about it being weekly.

Actually, to correct myself, it will check the file expire date daily, and if
it is within 30 days (as configured) of that date it will fetch a new one. So
in practice this happens once every few months.
