Don't worry, I've been side-tracked by docs stuff, committing things
then thinking "am I allowed to do that?", etc.  Fortunately I haven't
been forced to wear the pointy hat yet. :-)

I don't really feel strongly, I just think it would be cleaner to have
it separated out.  Alternatively perhaps /etc/security could be moved
to /etc/periodic/daily/<x>.security, since it's just another daily
script really.  But that would mean a repo-copy and this probably isn't
important enough to justify that, so let's leave it be.  People are
probably used to running '/etc/security' standalone as well.

Thanks.  I took advantage of it to commit a question to the FAQ which
James (on the cc list) asked recently: "what is a repo-copy?", let
me know if it answers your question well enough. (it's in the misc
questions bit.)
