You are running dhcpd as root, aren't you?

It seems that this cronjob is running as user 'operator'. But why would /usr/libexec/save-entropy be invoking the DHCP server? I can only guess that the filesystem is seriously toasted. Perhaps you should reinstall from scratch, and using a fresh CD-ROM or over FTP (you could install 6.1, although I use isc-dhcpd under 6.0 without any problem) $ pkg_info -I isc\* isc-dhcp3-server-3.0.3_1 The ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server Regards, Brian.
