Recently, (this past Sunday), I CVS-upped my 4.5-STABLE to 4.6-STABLE. Everything is fine, except one thing... The security check jobs no longer run at 2:00 AM like they used to. I checked all the settings in /etc/periodic and also in root's crontab, and can't find anything wrong. Here's the strange part. From the #, I can type: periodic daily and in about 30 seconds get an email with the security reports. However, the same line in crontab, sends me an email: periodic not found. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Recently, (this past Sunday), I CVS-upped my 4.5-STABLE to 4.6-STABLE.  Everything is fine, except one thing...

The security check jobs no longer run at 2:00 AM like they used to.  I checked all the settings in /etc/periodic and also in root's crontab, and
can't find anything wrong. 

Here's the strange part.  From the #, I can type: periodic daily     and in about 30 seconds get an email with the security reports.  However, the same
line in crontab, sends me an email: periodic not found.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Peter
