I thought, from reading /etc/periodic/daily/999.local that I could
put scripts in /usr/local/etc/periodic and they would be run by the
daily run.  However, this appears not to be the case.

If I symlink these scripts into /etc/periodic/daily, they run, of course,
but what is the proper way to use daily periodic?

I do have these lines in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf:

# periodic script dirs
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic /usr/X11R6/etc/periodic"

and they are not over-ridden anywhere else.
