I believe I am incorrect. I checked further and it looks like $daily_status_security_portaudit_enable defaults to YES in the portaudit script so it should run fine. Everything seems to be working. I don't know why I thought it wasn't running before. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks. On Sat, Dec 20, 2008 at 5:42 PM, kareemy <kareemy@gmail.com> wrote: > I am using FreeBSD 7-RELEASE.
