It just says that it first appeared in 2.0, which is true -- 2.0 will
be the next release. -current doesn't count for purposes of the
HISTORY section. As you might expect, for the 2.0 release to have man
pages saying "this feature appeared in 2.0", we have to add that text
in -current so that it will be there for the release.

Happens for me, and if you look, /usr/src/etc/crontab is indeed
running "daily", and daily does indeed run the security script. Maybe
it is the fact that your mail is broken that is causing you not to see
it.

Are you sure you have sendmail running right in addition? The .cf file
might be sufficient for your needs but you still need to set up your
rc.conf file correctly to make sendmail run etc.
