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.

I have done strange things sysadmining under the influence of alcohol.
Once I even changed my BIOS password under the influence and it took me half
an hour to figure out what I set it to.
I know it can be reset with a jumper but the hangover was suppressing that
possibility too ;-)
