I hate to sound dim... I wanna make sure I do this right. If I only want to change three variables, the content of my /etc/periodic.conf file will only have three lines.. a line for each change. I don't have to copy-and-hack the /etc/default/periodic.conf to /etc/periodic.conf with my given values... right? So, my /etc/periodic.conf file could contain only: daily_show_success=NO daily_show_info=NO daily_show_badconfig=NO If I wanted to turn those features off..right?
