I run it every night at 3:00am, the following is the log file that I make it create: =3D=3D=3Dupdate-os started by root on at Mon Jun 13 03:01:00 2005=3D=3D=3D Connected to cvsup.ca.freebsd.org Updating collection src-all/cvs TreeList failed: Error in "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_5_3": 37510: File is truncated.

And it did, but why was it crashing the entire box? -- --------- jtrask@gmail.com
