>Description:
Setting $daily_output in /etc/periodic.conf changes daily output recipient.
/etc/periodic/daily/450.status-security runs /etc/security and sends
through "sendmail root", completely ignoring any administrative settings.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set something other than 'root' as the value of $daily_output in one of
the periodic configuration files; witness the security mail go somewhere
else.
>Fix:
Either use a new config variable, or apply:
--- 450.status-security.dist Tue Sep 26 02:04:27 2000
+++ 450.status-security Fri Oct 20 16:10:12 2000
