The installation manual assumes you'll use cron. fcron by default runs commands using the user's login shell from /etc/passwd. Thus you have to either specify a valid shell in /etc/passwd or override it by assigning to SHELL in the crontab. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
