I notice that on two different systems (-current and -stable), there is an "adjkerntz -i" daemon that never terminates: 20 ?? Is 0:00.02 adjkerntz -i and also, "adjkerntz -a" is run periodically from /etc/crontab: 1,31 0-4 * * * root /sbin/adjkerntz -a Is this really what is supposed to be happening? If there's a persistent daemon, why must there also be separate periodic runs of the same program? -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
