If this does not disappear after a recompile of the cricket tree, I
cannot really say what this message means.  Cc: to John-Magne, who might
be able to answer your question.

To manually recompile your cricket tree, you should be the navcron user.
 If you followed the RHEL4 guide closely, then your cricket
installation's compile script should be located as
/usr/local/nav/cricket/cricket/compile .  If you are root, you can run
this as navcron with the following command:

 su -c /usr/local/nav/cricket/cricket/compile navcron

I don't know.  NAV has several backend Java processes, but it doesn't
spawn new Java processes as a result of adding any servers or other IP
devices from the web interface.  To find out which process you are
referring to, you must provide the arguments of the process, as only
those will tell us exactly which NAV program is running.

"ps uww -u navcron" should be a good command to find all processes
running as the navcron user.

I hope installing and running NAV on Linux will be a good learning
experience for you then :)
