It adds four new variables for use in periodic.conf (defaults shown): daily_status_security_chksetuid_fs="ufs,zfs" daily_status_security_chksetuid_fs_ignore="" daily_status_security_neggrpperm_fs="ufs,zfs" daily_status_security_neggrpperm_fs_ignore="" The _fs variables take filesystem types, as would be passed to mount(8). These limit the entire search based on type, so an all or nothing approach. The _fs_ignore variables are space separated lists of mountpoints to skip. So you can leave zfs in the _fs list, and then list specific filesystems here that you do not want to be scanned. I don't claim to be any great shell script writer, but this appears to do the job. Any suggestions, pointers, comments, etc welcomed. :) -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com
