>Description:
r254974 introduced "Make the period of each periodic security script configurable" which I am quite interested in, but also with "A compatibility shim has been introduced for the old variable names".  The compat shim doesn't seem to work for me.  I will eventually update my configurations to the new standard, however this particular system was setup to use the old variables such as daily_status_security_pfdenied_enable="NO" and daily_status_security_loginfail_enable=no.  For the sake of having the shim work, I am reporting this.  This system has been reporting login failures and pf denied statistics daily which was not my intention per the variables mentioned above which I have set in /etc/periodic.conf.

I made a few attempts to change the contents of the "security_daily_compat_var" line in /etc/periodic/security/520.pfdenied but was unsuccessful.
>How-To-Repeat:
put in /etc/periodic.conf:
daily_status_security_pfdenied_enable="NO" daily_status_security_loginfail_enable=no
Run it or wait overnight, those scripts run anyway.
