Is this a user crontab (you ran 'crontab -e', not edited /etc/crontab)? If so, cron always uses the owner of the crontab as the user; you can't change it, and you need to leave that field out of the crontab. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
