>Description:
I was adding some functionality to the kernel message security
check, and in the debugging process found that the extra script
I added was getting executed independently. Further investigation
found that /usr/sbin/periodic runs $dir/*. Since the file
security_functions already exists in /etc/periodic/security as a
file to be sourced, rather than executed standalone, this is
apparently not correct behavior. I believe the intention is to
execute $dir/[0-9]*.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a file 'xyzzy' in /etc/periodic/security containing
echo xyzzy
then run "/usr/sbin/periodic security"
>Fix:
Index: periodic.sh
