Due to the way we run ls(1), through xargs(1), the leading whitespace
can change even when the setuid files haven't. To avoid displaying
these lines, we currently run diff(1) with the '-w' option. However,
this is probably not the ideal way to go; there is a very, very small
possibility for diff(1) to miss things is shouldn't. So, with the
leading space cleaned, we can revert to the '-b' option which is
"safer."

The new mailq display is only active if both the old
daily_status_mailq_enable is set to "YES" and the new
daily_status_include_submit_mailq is set to "YES" so people who disabled
440.status-mailq won't have any surprises.
Likewise, the new queue run is only active if both the old

the main daemon -- it can be set to anything in the sendmail.cf file.

broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and

the idea of not masking passwords on comments in case the
administrator comments out an entry without clearing the
password. Instead completely ignore comments (since they have no
security impact) when doing the diff of the old and new passwd file.

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).
