NAME

     daily.conf - daily maintenance configuration file


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.

     run_msgs          This runs msgs(1) with the -c argument.

     expire_news       This runs the /etc/expire.news script.

     purge_accounting  This ages accounting files in /var/account.

     run_calendar      This runs calendar(1) with the -a argument.

     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,
                       and also reports failed raid(4) components.

     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.

     run_security      This runs the /etc/security script looking for possible
                       security problems with the system.

     run_skeyaudit     Runs the skeyaudit(1) program to check the S/Key
                       database and informs users of S/Keys that are about to
                       expire.
