Cron [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/libexec/save-entropy
I must have dome something wrong setting up a FreeBSD5.4 system, but I haven't a clue as to what. The script is called save-entropy, a great idea, but it acts as if lots of the configuration it needs is missing. I do have ipfw running and it got all the rules I put in to it via a rule-setting script called in rc.conf.local but the message that cron generates every eleven minutes shows that something is very unhappy. For now, I simply commented out the save-entropy run for a bit of peace and quiet, but the entropy is now not being updated which is not a good thing. What do I need to look at to fix this properly? Thank you.

I haven't found exactly what I did yet, but I remembered that I do have a second 5.4 box and it appears to be fine so I can probably solve this after some digging.

[FreeBSD 5.0] Problem with /etc/crontab -- /usr/libexec/save-entropy //
I have a problem with the /usr/libexec/save-entropy script executed by
crontab in /etc/crontab :
# Save some entropy so that /dev/random can re-seed on boot.
*/11 * * * * operator /usr/libexec/save-entropy
When I let the /etc/crontab script execute normally I have a mail generated

I had to comment the line in /etc/crontab so that It stopped generating
error every 11 minutes, could this be a potential problem ?
I don't exactly see what seems to go wrong with the script !?

Problems with /usr/libexec/save-entropy
Ok, I'm an idiot! I MUST have done something to my system yesterday. It's been running fine, and around 3:00pm yesterday, I started receiving emails from Cron /usr/local/save-entropy saying: *User: not found I've tried everything, and looking into everything. I've checked my master.passwd and group (compared 'em to /usr/src/etc). I've checked crontab (/etc/crontab), and root's crontab (empty). I've also compared to another 5.1 (Release) box, and everhthing is the same. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm running: 5.1 Current. I even did another update, build world, kernel and merge this morning, all to no avail! The line in my crontab is: */11 * * * * operator /usr/libexec/save-entropy And when I try to run it from the command line I get: /etc# /usr/libexec/save-entropy *User: not found Any/all help would be appreciated.
