Thoe whole story is, that we have a whole cluster of FreeBSD PCs(13) and a Sun 4m as NFS server. We were porting FreeBSDs /etc/daily for the sun, so we get the same mail from every bos. And yes, there's a line host=`hostname -s` directly at the beginning :) this was rather funny as my prompt then changed to "-s" and i was actually looking for a mistake in my .tcshrc :)) CU, Sec -- Fuer die Raupe ist es das Ende der Welt, Fuer den Rest der Welt ist es ein Schmetterling Error 0: No error
