>Description:
The first time /etc/security runs, it copies essentially all of /etc (and /root and a copy of `ls -l /dev' and various other things) into the mail.
This is not particularly useful, especially parts like the 3 MB /etc/services. Ideally, it would (quietly) archive the original installation, and only report changes from that in the mail.
>How-To-Repeat:
install NetBSD in a way that the daily insecurity report goes somewhere
>Fix:
Yes, please!
