I believe I am incorrect. I checked further and it looks like
$daily_status_security_portaudit_enable defaults to YES in the
portaudit script so it should run fine. Everything seems to be
working. I don't know why I thought it wasn't running before. Sorry
for the trouble. Thanks.

I am using FreeBSD 7-RELEASE. I installed portaudit. The FreeBSD

portaudit was not run in my daily security runs. There is no mention
of portaudit in /etc/periodic.conf or /etc/defaults/periodic.conf. I
read /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.portaudit and found that it
references 3 variables:
daily_status_security_portaudit_enable
daily_status_security_portaudit_expiry
daily_status_security_portaudit_user
I can't find those variables defined anywhere in any periodic.conf
file. I understand I can just manually add
daily_status_security_portaudit_enable=YES to my periodic.conf and
be good to go. But I am wondering about the discrepancy with the
Freebsd handbook.
Is the FreeBSD handbook out of date or incorrect in this regard or is
there another reason why portaudit didn't update the periodic config
files?
Thanks,
