diff output, and replace them with "(password)". The diffs get
mailed to root, which in many cases is forwarded across the
Internet. A patient sniffer could acquire the entire "master.passwd"
file by saving all the diffs. With this fix, you still see that the
password changed, but you don't see the details.
Unless somebody talks me out of it, I am going to merge this into -2.2
in 48 hours.
"hand", changed /etc/crontab to call /usr/sbin/newsyslog every hour
(the entry was there before - but we haven't had any newsyslog until
today :-) and changed /etc/inetd.conf to also contain (commentet out)
entries for rpc.rquotad and rpc.sprayd (taken from NetBSD)
safe way to do this, and envites very unpleasant results. Removed fsck'ing
of all the disks on the system as it provides output that is almost always
meaningless and only envites bug reports.

Leave a warning to the sysop if (s)he didn't yet
enable the /tmp cleanup code.
Made `core' in the cleanup template look `*.core'.
Replace `df -k' by `df -k -t local', since the stats
for kernfs, procfs etc. are not of much interest, and
the inclusion of nfs systems might hang the machine (nor is it a
`disk' statistic as the headline's telling).
weekly:
Modified the locate.updatedb part to work even if there's no
database yet; report errors other than `Permission denied' instead
of silently ignoring all of them.
Added functionality to rebuild the whatis database once a week.
FreeBSD release still nukes everything on scratch using a big-hammer
method, even if it is nfs-mounted (and, when it is, the expiration policy
may be different). Daily script should by default do nothing to remote
filesystems?
added a note that you must decide what is appropriate for your system.

I've finally figured out (one of the reasons) why I can't run MS-Windows
after running FreeBSD 1.0...*sometimes*.
Here's your first clue. This is what your MS-Windows video drivers are called
if you run a Number 9 GXE video card:
/dos/windows/system/#9gxetc.drv
/dos/windows/system/#9gxe.drv
that the errors from /etc/security are in the mail message from
/etc/security and not the /etc/daily mail message. Now just to fix
the bug in /etc/security
