Can you also document what are the differences between systraq and checksecurity? checksecurity does _not_ send a diff of the modified files. This feature (no diff sent) seams to be the major advantage of systraq over what was provided by *BSD according to [1]. checksecurity was part of cron so any Debian stable user has it. It is now just recommended by cron. I do not object to the inclusion of this package but would like to know what are the benefits compared to an already existing Debian package.
