# 254974 27-Aug-2013 jlh

Make the period of each periodic security script configurable.

There are now six additional variables
weekly_status_security_enable
weekly_status_security_inline
weekly_status_security_output
monthly_status_security_enable
monthly_status_security_inline
monthly_status_security_output
alongside their existing daily counterparts. They all have the same
default values.

All other "daily_status_security_${scriptname}_${whatever}"
variables have been renamed to "security_status_${name}_${whatever}".
A compatibility shim has been introduced for the old variable names,
which we will be able to remove in 11.0-RELEASE.

"security_status_${name}_enable" is still a boolean but a new
"security_status_${name}_period" allows to define the period of
each script. The value is one of "daily" (the default for backward
compatibility), "weekly", "monthly" and "NO".

Note that when the security periodic scripts are run directly from
crontab(5) (as opposed to being called by daily or weekly periodic
scripts), they will run unless the test is explicitely disabled with a
"NO", either for in the "_enable" or the "_period" variable.

When the security output is not inlined, the mail subject has been
changed from "$host $arg run output" to "$host $arg $period run output".
For instance:
myfbsd security run output -> myfbsd security daily run output
I don't think this is considered as a stable API, but feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong.

Finally, I will rearrange periodic.conf(5) and default/periodic.conf
to put the security options in their own section. I left them in
place for this commit to make reviewing easier.

# 102398 25-Aug-2002 cjc

Only create a temporary file if we are actually going to do something
in the script. Eliminates a bug where we create a temp file, but don't
delete it since the rm(1) is only done if the check is enabled.

# 96812 17-May-2002 brian

Change ``dmesg -a'' to ``dmesg''.

The change was introduced in src/etc/security 1.53 almost a year ago
in an attempt to see ipfw deny message logs.

However, ipfw deny/reject logs have been displayed since version 1.13
of the same file as a separate ``job'' and have since moved to
src/etc/periodic/security/500.ipfwdenied.

# 87514 07-Dec-2001 cjc

Long ago, there was just /etc/daily. Then /etc/security was split out
of /etc/daily. Some time later, /etc/daily became a set of periodic(8)
scripts. Now, this evolution continues, and /etc/security has been
broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and
more maintainable.
