Now I get a mail message from cron every time one of the events listed in /etc/crontab attempts to run that reads: root: not found I had made a copy of the original /etc/crontab file before I made any modifications (like a good sys admin) and copied it back over the one I had modified. For all intense purposes, it should be back to normal, yet I still keep receiving these messages. I even rebooted the machine, but to no avail. What can I do to get cron back to it's original state? Please respond to this message through e-mail (kyle_korndoerfer@urmc.rochester.edu) as I don't have access to news groups here work where the machine in question is located here. Thanks to anyone who can offer help. ---- Kyle Korndoerfer Analyst Programmer Information Systems Division University of Rochester Medical Center To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
