(spaces are only legal >in the last field of crontab as well) Huh? You are refering to the checking, but the original /etc/crontab's for 2.2.7 and the 9/30 beta are mostly spaces, but the do mix tabs and spaces on the LHS, assuming you are referring in this case to only the time/date fields. In 2.2.7 (v1.13) even has a tab between adjkerntz and the -a flag that the beta (v.1.18) did not. There was some other space/tab swapping between the 2, but crontab is _not_ consistant or mentioned clearly (at all) in the man pages. The important parts are almost identical. Jeez. Otherwise a warning for syslog would be good, but I've always used tabs for better clarity reading syslog.conf. Good time to make a decision for crontab or at least the file. ;) Jeff Mountin - Unix Systems TCP/IP networking jeff@mountin.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
