What are folks running news servers doing to keep /etc/security from
traversing their news spools?

It's too bad we don't have ncheck, but it looks to me like the next
best thing would be to skip any filesystems mounted "nodev", and either
"nosuid" or "noexec".

There's a similar problem with /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb that
/etc/weekly runs to rebuild the location database, and you probably don't
want to use the mount flags trick here.
