|The crontab -e command is performed as and ordinary user.
Try moving the command into a script and running the script from cron.
That will allow you to put in a lot more debuging stuff.
Try something like:
=============================================================
#!/bin/bash
Date=`date '+%Y%m%d%H'`
DumpFile="/home/user/mysql/$Date"
echo "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -uuser -ppass database > $DumpFile" >>
/home/user/dump.log
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -uuser -ppass database > $DumpFile
=============================================================
That will shoow you what command is being executed and may help locate the problem.

Hello,
I got the same problem on Mandrake 7.2 when I installed 2.4.0 and
iptables. I modified the script /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall.inet_sharing (is it
the same for RH ?) and put a /sbin/modprobe ip_tables. Then the other
modules (ip_conntrack, ...) should be loaded on demand.
Hope this will help

Please post your lilo.conf file and explain how you want it to control

Try creating a one line shell script with the command portion of your
crontab entry in it, then
edit your crontab entry to run the script. I know it sounds like a
double-shuffle (and is) but the crontab entry will be much more
manageable.
Be sure your script has proper permissions.

I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole

Hello,
I got the same problem on Mandrake 7.2 when I installed 2.4.0 and
iptables. I modified the script /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall.inet_sharing (is it
the same for RH ?) and put a /sbin/modprobe ip_tables. Then the other
modules (ip_conntrack, ...) should be loaded on demand.
Hope this will help
Christian
