>Environment:
the source of periodic.sh cvsup'ed last night (march 27)
>Description:
Some of the scripts in /etc/periodic use $host, to print the
name of the host they're running on. However, when
/usr/sbin/periodic runs the scripts it does not `export' host
variable
>How-To-Repeat:
Change your personal account password and run periodic daily, or
look at old postings from `periodic daily'. The line above your
passwd diffs should be "$host passwd diffs:", but it comes out
as " passwd diffs:" because $host is unset.
