I just updated a 4.11 machine to patch level 24. Somehow I had overlooked that machine earlier as it's so stable and only is handling web pages, secondary dns and secondary mail. I've checked everthing I can think of but now all the scripts that are run from the root crontab - with the user of 'root' as shipped in the distrubution now give me error messages. The messages are from the atrun daemon. Here is the message I'm getting just as I bounced it to this account. Theone difference I see in this is that the Subject line when viewed in mutt on the original machine has root?/usr/libexec/atrun. ---------------------------------- Message-Id: <200709121250.l8CCo0fB051558@iserv.wanlogistics.net> From: root@iserv.wanlogistics.net (Cron Daemon) To: root@iserv.wanlogistics.net Subject: Cron <root@iserv> root /usr/libexec/atrun X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root> X-Cron-Env: <MAILTO=root@iserv.wanlogistics.net> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root> X-Cron-Env: <USER=root> X-UIDL: EO^"!?>h"!Y(@"!+&N"! root: not found ---------------------------------- I've checked everywhere I can think of. I've even added the MAILTO line in the crontab with an FQDN address. That didn't help either. It must be something simple I've overlooked or else I'd have seen reports of this before. The cvsup is only for the RELEASE - so nothing is there that would be added after the last security update to that last year. I'm sorry this is so late in time frame of 4.11 - but as I said - for some reason this is one server I inadvertantly overlooked. Normally the OS gets updated the day any security changes are made.
