Hello to all fellow freebsd users :) I am new in unix and BSD and I have encoured some problems trying to "play" with all it's features. :) The problem I have is that I tried configuring mrtg in my freebsd 5.4 stable machine, as well as smb. And that's where my problems start! first mrtg. mrtg works fine except one minor problem with cron. It will not start! I edit it with crontab -e and added the line */5 * * * * root /usr/local/www/mrtg/run.sh with vi editor. The path refers to the right directory and script. When I run it manually everything works. But I keep getting the the mail (every 5 min it was supposed to run the run.sh) :

I can't think of anything else. If there is anything someone can think of.. As the smb concerning I encounter another weired (for me at least!) problem i installed from the ports samba3 and edited the smb.conf. I had access to the BSD machine via windows but i kept getting this message in dmeg: pid 8541 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13220 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13338 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13364 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13399 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13438 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13492 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 25004 (conftest), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) pid 45607 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70202 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70249 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70346 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70388 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70433 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70472 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70478 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70515 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70524 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70535 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 and so on... I also had mail to root with a prob with smbd, nmbd. so I deinstalled samba to start over again and now continiusly keep getting the same message in dmesg. But not in mail anymore. I hope I was clear enough about the two probs I have. Thank you and hope this is the right mailing list. SpacEirene __________________________________ Yahoo!
