save-entropy cronjob Added: not found every 10 minutes
Hello, Does anybody know what is going on with the crobjob /usr/libexec/save-entropy that by default is scheduled to run every 10 minutes? I'm getting tons of log mail because of this, but I don't want to just comment out the cronjob because it is annoying. It is only happening on one of my FreeBSD 5.2.1 boxes, and the only thing I can figure that is causing it (different from other boxes) is that it is running the dhcpd server. Any thoughts?

You should then be able to determine which line is printing that error message. My guess is something in your rc.conf is doing it. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks! Using your technique, I discovered that I stupidly forgot to put a '#' before one of my comments in /etc/rc.conf.
