Suddenly, crontab is not able to install a crontab for root. It tries to, and eats up large amounts of cpu, but ultimately I have to kill it. It works for othes users though. The log file returns: ORPHAN: (no passwd entry) root is listd in passwd, of course, and it is readable. Anyone have a clue what might be going on? 2.2-971214-SNAP Jonathan Fosburgh, wotan@scientist.com , University of Houston Geophysics http://www.geocities.com/vienna/1498 FreeBSD: Turning PCs into Workstations http://www.freebsd.org ******************************************************************************* We shall not cease from exploration, And the end of our exploring shall be to arrive Where we started from, and know the place for the first time. --T.S.
