AFAIK, crond has nothing to do with /etc/environment. That file is read by the X session startup scripts when you login. So the right test would have been to set FOO=something in /etc/environment, then logout and login again. How this relates to non-graphical logins, or even non-gdm logins, I do not know. Craig
