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. 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: monthly_statistics_enable="YES" To enable boottime reporting, edit or create /etc/rc.conf and add this line: bsdstats_enable="YES" To enable device reporting, add this line: monthly_statistics_report_devices="YES" To enable ports reporting, add this line: monthly_statistics_report_ports="YES" To run it manually the first time, just run it as: ${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics -nodelay To view current statistics, go to: http://www.bsdstats.org ********************
