https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D260709 --- Comment #4 from wbe@psr.com --- Created attachment 231096 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D231096&action= =3Dedit suggested patch for /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit Well, foo. It looks like I misunderstood how "periodic" works. I had thought the sleep call inside /etc/periodic.conf's shell procedure anticongestion {...} was called every day. A search with grep revealed tha= t's not so. In particular, on the system in question, anticongestion() would only be invoked every second (usually) or third (occasionally) day. So, that explains the roughly 50% "no sleep delay" results. This bug report may be resolved as: not a bug (reporter misunderstood how things work). There is a change to /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit you may wish to consider. I've included that as an attachment. -WBE --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
