	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.
