Hmm.. it did that to me, too... then I reinstalled it. Now it starts up, but it bogs my system down to hell when it does its daily stuff. When I look at the running processes while this is happening, I see a couple of copies of cron, two copies of 0anacron, and three copies (IIRC) of anacron. I kinda doubt this is what is supposed to happen. I guess we should just turn it off for now. Keep an eye on /var/log file sizes, etc. Peter
