>Description:
The default periodic.conf value for "daily_status_security_diff_flags"
includes the "-u" flag, which doesn't produce output with lines
prefixed with '>' which is what the grep pipeline checks for.
This means that the daily security report doesn't include firewall
denied log changes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run: "periodic security" after some changes to the firewall log
>Fix:
Remove the '-u' option to 'daily_status_security_diff_flags' in
/usr/src/etc/defaults/periodic.conf
