Subject: Cron /usr/libexec/save-entropy 5 : not found ------------------------------------------- I have noticed that while still at the command line, the number "5" sporadically appears in the boot messages; the system responds with the equivalent of "don't know what that's for..." message. Anyone have a suggestion about what this is and how I should fix it? Thank you. -- paz
