15ef3dc005 Fix situations where none of the scripts executed produce output,
so that we don't see any more ``null message body, hope that's
ok'' messages.

We now see something like ``No output from the 3 files processed''.

Lump all output for a given periodic argument together so that
people with /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily (for example) will
get the output of those jobs together with the normal daily run
rather than getting a second email.

9ed55d1192 Another overhaul of the periodic stuff.
All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8).  Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

f3e285ba7d Introduce /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, similar in concept to rc.conf.
The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.

2bed2aa31f export host after setting it.
This is needed so passwd diffs show the hostname instead of
" passwd diffs:"

54724311ee Make periodic(8) and the security mailings reflect the full FQDN, as opposed
to a hostname. This will help those who keep a cluster of machines all with
the same hostname but different domain names.

a2940c0e75 Back out the fancy directory sorting, it's more pain that its worth,
and it's there in the CVS repository in case someone things that this
idea is superkeen.
