But since the periodic scripts run with respect to local time, I'm afraid we can't reach an easy consensus here. Running periodic at 1:59 am is fine for Greece. If we move it to 3:59 am we will have a problem. If we move it to 5:59 am I suppose somebody in the timezone GMT+5 will be in trouble next year. Perhaps the crontab entry should be computed by sysinstall when specifying the timezone? -past To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
