I added the only two options the security stuff currently > uses, what else does it need? For each script under /etc/periodic/{daily,weekly,monthly}/, there is a knob in /etc/defaults/periodic. This controls whether the script is run and maybe gives it some options. For instance, the daily/440.status-mailq knobs look like this: # 440.status-mailq daily_status_mailq_enable="YES" # Check mail status daily_status_mailq_shorten="NO" # Shorten output There should be equivalent for each of the security scripts. As I mentioned when I first brought this mess up, I am porting the scripts to Red Hat 6.2. I have all of them done except for the security scripts. I am waiting to see if any when a finalized version of these end up in the tree. I plan on making an RPM available of it all when done.
