The compat shim doesn't seem to work for me. I will eventually update my configurations to the new standard, however this particular system was setup to use the old variables such as daily_status_security_pfdenied_enable="NO" and daily_status_security_loginfail_enable=no. For the sake of having the shim work, I am reporting this. This system has been reporting login failures and pf denied statistics daily which was not my intention per the variables mentioned above which I have set in /etc/periodic.conf. I made a few attempts to change the contents of the "security_daily_compat_var" line in /etc/periodic/security/520.pfdenied but was unsuccessful. >How-To-Repeat: put in /etc/periodic.conf: daily_status_security_pfdenied_enable="NO" daily_status_security_loginfail_enable=no Run it or wait overnight, those scripts run anyway. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
