Re: problems with 'periodic' in 4.11 p-24
On or about Thu, Sep 13, 2007 at 06:25 , while attempting a Zarathustra emulation Luke Hollins thus spake: Can you post your crontab? Maybe one line has the username twice . Boy - that was the hint that helped me find the problem. How I did this I do not know, but the /etc/crontab was duplicated in /var/cron/tabs/root. That was why the 'root: not found' message occured as the normal cron doesn't use that. I still don't know how I did this - particularly after admining FreeBSD systems since 1995. Maybe I did it in my sleep. But thanks for the comment as that put me on the correct track. Bill Bill Vermillion wrote: I just updated a 4.11 machine to patch level 24.

The cvsup is only for the RELEASE - so nothing is there that would be added after the last security update to that last year. I'm sorry this is so late in time frame of 4.11 - but as I said - for some reason this is one server I inadvertantly overlooked. Normally the OS gets updated the day any security changes are made.
