On Mon, 6 Mar 2000, Chris Jones reported that a friend told him:
>> FreeBSD has taken the root 'daily/weekly/monthly' reports and

>> Basically you've got a script 'periodic' and a directory tree

I suggest that people who want that functionality should look at Simon
Gerraty's configs tools, available from ftp.quick.com.au or the mirror
at ftp://ftp.telstra.com.au/mirror/ftp.quick.com.au/.
