Glad that things worked out. > How the he** did that get into there?? Would it be part of a cron or > anacron update?? I am sure it was the work of either poltergeists or gremlins. It should not be part of any system package and if so would be a violation of policy. Packages would use one of the whole files in /etc/cron.* and not the personal SysV style crontab. Those are for the humans and not for the programs. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.5 Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
