As dmesg prints out the system message buffer, which seems to be cyclic on a byte boundary, the first line of dmesg.today / yesterday are some times fragments of a line. Thus the diff done by check_diff in the periodic security report shows undesired unmatched fragments. Fix: My suggestion is to add a "tail +2" in 700.kernelmsg (version 1.1.2.7), to suppress first dmesg output line: cvs-freebsd:/etc/periodic/security>diff 700.kernelmsg 700.kernelmsg- 47c47 < dmesg 2>/dev/null | tail +2 | --- > dmesg 2>/dev/null | Best Regards, Gustavo How-To-Repeat: Trivial.
