Hi everyone,
I noticed a very odd set of scripts on my mac today (running all the latest updates) and am having a heck of a time finding any solid info. Here's what I found:
I have a /etc/defaults/periodic.conf that has mention of $FreeBSD in it and looks like it controls about 15 other daily/weekly/monthly scripts inside /etc/periodic/. Those 15 files have names like 130.clean-msgs, 400.status-disks, 199.clean-fax, and so on.
Furthermore, I checked for similar files on a separate Mac and didn't see them, so I'm becoming concerned if this is legit or some sort of exploit.
Any insight would be truly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
