Is this something you could generalize and embelish -- adding an /etc/perodic.conf knob for? Also, if you do 'make installworld' on this machine (since this is what we're talking about); you can also just make the change to /usr/src/etc/periodic/security/security.function. I would almost think this is a better way, as you can (cd /usr/src ; cvs diff) and get a list of all the customization you've done. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
