>Description:

    The flags to df for daily status mail (specified by
daily_status_disks_df_flags") is inconsistent. The flags were set to include
"-t nonfs" in rev 1.5. Since the commit doesn't say why, I assume this is to
prevent non local file systems from being listed. If this is the case, then
"-l" would be a better option, as it will also exclude all network file
systems, for example smbfs, which -t "nonfs" does not do. If my reasoning is
wrong, please let me know.

>How-To-Repeat:
	mount non nfs network file systems (smbfs for example) and receive daily
periodic mail. 

>Fix:

	Change daily_status_disks_df_flags in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf to
"-k -l"
