Hi again,

Are you talking about setuid.yesterday, dmesg.yesterday and ipfw.yesterday?

I have traced them to /etc/security.  I have not read the script carefully
enough to determine WHY it does that little trick, but that's where it
happens.

/etc/security is invoked from the /etc/periodic/daily set of scripts.

Patrick.
