Most of our webservers do not have module support compiled it. It slows things down for some cases, and is a security risk. I've noticed however that on the redhat based machines, there is an excessive amount of email because the /etc/cron.d/kmod script does not check for the existance of /proc/modules before executing. Its 2 lines that need to be added to the script, and would most likely be better run out of /etc/cron.hourly.
Fixed in modutils 2.3.7.
