DESCRIPTION

     The daily.conf file specifies which of the standard /etc/daily services
     are performed.  The /etc/daily script is run, by default, every night on
     a NetBSD system.

     The variables described below can be set to "NO" to disable the test:

     find_core         This runs find(1) over the entire local filesystem,
                       looking for core files.

     check_uucp        This runs the /etc/uuclean.daily script, as the daemon
                       user, and runs uustat(1) with the ``-a'' argument.

     check_disks       This uses the df(1) and dump(8) to give disk status.

     check_mailq       This runs mailq(1).

     check_network     This runs netstat(1) with the ``-i'' argument, and also
                       checks the rwhod(8) database, and runs ruptime(1) if
                       there are hosts in /var/rwho.

     run_fsck          This runs fsck(8) with the ``-n'' option.

     run_rdist         This runs rdist(1) with /etc/Distfile.
