It also introduced an assumption that the $PERIODIC variable exported on line 81 /usr/sbin/periodic would be defined. This introduces a minor regression as we cannot run individual scripts by running directly from a shell anymore. >How-To-Repeat: cd /etc/periodic/security ./100.chksetuid ASSERTION FAILED: Unexpected value for $PERIODIC: '' >Fix: Workaround: env PERIODIC=security ./100.chksetuid Fix: Apply attached patch to provide an extra case statement entry for an empty $PERIODIC variable.
