By scripts, I assume you mean files generally, since only one file in
/etc/security is actually a script. Right now, those files are on the vendor
branch in contrib/openbsm/etc, since they are distributed as part of OpenBSM.
I think merging $FreeBSD$ strings into the OpenBSM distribution probably
doesn't make sense. So it comes down to how and whether we want to maintain
local modifications (such as adding $FreeBSD$). My hope has been to avoid
requiring any FreeBSD src changes to files in OpenBSM, given that I am the
vendor, and can loop changes back, but obviously $FreeBSD$ is a bit of a
special case. How do we normally handle this sort of thing? It looks like
for OpenSSL and OpenSSH, at least, we opt to take files off the vendor branch?
