(We set this environment variable in login.conf, but that only affects processes where login(1) is involved; cron-spawned tasks don't qualify.) > Did you try setting cron_program in /etc/rc.conf and it didn't work? >=20 > /etc/rc.subr should handle this for you.

I gather from your response that the answer is "yes." :-} (I did try augmenting the rc.d/cron script with export UNAME_r=3D7.1-RELEASE immediately prior to the run_rc_command invocation; that did not appear to do what I rather had hoped it would.)
