I know someone has sent something on this before, so direct email responses would be great rather than flooding current-users.

How can I get rid of these annoying 'daily insecurity output' messages?  Is it mtree?

Thanks for any feedback,

Daf.

Checking the /etc/group file:
Group anonymous has more than 8 characters.
 
	So? Is this a Bad Thing (tm)?  Why?

/etc/security: cannot open /etc/exports: no such file

	I am not running nfs, so I don't have exports

Checking setuid files and devices:

Checking special files and directories.
var/log: 
	type (dir, link)
var/spool/ftp: 
	type (dir, link)
usr/include: 
	user (0, 3)
	gid (0, 7)
usr/src: 
	gid (9, 0)

	This is part of the hassle with sup changing usr/src, and make changing /usr/include -  the other stuff is me.
