Patch attached with submission follows:

2,5d1
< This script, meant to be run monthly, submits statistics anonymously
< to a central checkin server (http://bsdstats.org), in an attempt to
< generate reasonably accurate demographics of both *BSD usage, as well
< as devices in use.
7,10c3
< Steps have been taken to make eliminate security concerns brought up
< in earlier releases of this, including, but not limited to, not storing
< anything in the database that has been deemed as 'sensitive' (ie. IP of
< the reporting server, and hostname).

< To enable monthly reporting, edit or create /etc/periodic.conf and add this line:

>      The BSDstats application provides a anonymous reporting method for the
>      world wide accumulation of monthly statistics about the deployment of BSD
>      variant Operating Systems. Currently the following BSD variants have
>      monthly statistics reported. (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD,
>      PcBSD, and DesktopBSD). 
> 
>      The BSDstats application has a monthly reporting period. It relies on
>      being run "at least" once a month for the reporting computer to be
>      counted. The intention here is to count computers that are currently
>      "using" FreeBSD, not computers that ran FreeBSD sometime in the past.
>      Multiple reporting in a period by the same computer is counted as a 
>      single occurrence.
