Are you implying here that /usr/pkg is given a periodic security check
by default, but /usr/local is not?  Is this something new in NetBSD 4?
Can someone confirm this?

Almost every application that I know of, along with their library
dependencies, are installed under /usr/local (or /usr/X11R6) by default.
/usr/pkg doesn't even exist on my system (NetBSD 3.0).  All this time
I was thinking "daily" and "weekly" were watching /usr/local for me.
What a bummer.
