Hello!=20
The only thing I=92ve done is put this in my periodic.conf:
daily_show_success=3DNO
daily_show_info=3DNO
daily_show_badconfig=3D"NO"
weekly_show_success=3D"NO"
weekly_show_info=3D"NO"
weekly_show_badconfig=3D"NO"
monthly_show_success=3D"NO"
monthly_show_info=3D"NO"
monthly_show_badconfig=3D"NO"
# Include security jobs with daily email. No need to send second email.
daily_status_security_inline=3D"NO"
security_show_success=3D"NO"
# Don't need to know about denied packets every day
daily_status_security_ipfdenied_enable=3D"NO"
### Now, enable services which you DO want to be aware of
# Check host for old ports
daily_status_security_portaudit_enable=3D"YES"
# Perform ZFS filesystem checks
daily_status_zfs_enable=3D"YES"
daily_status_security_ipfwdenied_enable=3D"NO"
daily_status_security_ipfwlimit_enable=3D"NO"
security_show_success=3D=93NO=94
You can also put in security_status_loginfail_enable=3D=93NO=94 if you =
don=92t want to see failed sshd logins.
To remove some message that you always get to your dmesg and don=92t =
want to see in your mail you can edit =
/etc/periodic/security/700.kernelmsg line 49 to look something like:
dmesg 2>/dev/null | egrep -v 'arp: unknown hardware address =
format=92 |
This thing will remove "arp: unknown hardware address format=94 messages =
from the daily mail, as an example.
This has resolved most of my too much mail problems.
Regards,
Markus
