The man for periodic tells me:

     To only see important information from daily periodic jobs, add the fol­
     lowing lines to /etc/periodic.conf:

   daily_show_success=NO
   daily_show_info=NO
   daily_show_badconfig=NO

Since I don't currently have a /etc/perodic.conf file, can I just create one and only have the three lines above and be done?
Or do I need to COPY the /etc/defaults/periodic.conf file and hack it with the three above lines?

Thanks

-Allen May
