FreeBSD by default sets PATH to what you see in the mail from cron. That is, /usr/local/bin is not include in the list. This is Normal(tm). > So question is, it would be good to add info to man page or to "some magic scripst", wouldn´t it ? Ideally this should be fixed by doing something like export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin either inside the rc script or inside of the ipfw2dshild script (if it's a script). > And the last but one, if it is the problem with PATH, why it does not appear on the other my systems ? I made an installation in the same way on all pc´s. On other FreeBSD systems? You probably have PATH explicitly set in on of your ~root dotfiles, or in /etc/profile, etc. etc... > The last, which user do I have to add to PATH variable for ? For root ? For cron ? root, but see above. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
