--- Comment #1 from Jeremie Le Hen <jlh at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi Frank,

This is not straightforward to do so because as you can see on the URL below
this message is printed before calling periodic(8) again for security:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/etc/periodic/daily/450.status-security?view=markup

So there are two solutions:
1. remove this message altogether; this is problematic if the security output
is inlined

2. print only this message if there is any output from periodic security; but
this requires to bufferize the whole output and then print the caption only if
the output is not empty


I would favor 2 but it's a bit hackish and heavyweight for the purpose.  Let
this bug bake a bit to see if others have some input.
