[gentoo-user] Re: cron and mail

[David]

ok, thanks! vcron tries to sent to port 25 though, and ssmtp doesn't run 
as a daemon. Know where I cat set it so that it uses /sur/sbin/ssmtp?

What ebuild(s) do I need for cron to mail its output (locally) to root?

Well, cron, of course, there are several flavors, vcron, fcron, anacron.
Can't comment on merits of each.
And you will need net-mail/mailx, and I recommend net-mail/ssmtp. Since
you are just sending locally you don't need a full blown MTA
(sendmail, postfix).
HTH,
