Also, almost forgot, but if you want the output of periodic jobs (daily, weekly, monthly, security run) mailed to username instead of root, you can put this in your /etc/mail/aliases: root: username This will mail everything that would normally go to root to username, which includes those periodic jobs. If you want to change this on a more granular level, check /etc/defaults/periodic.conf - jt _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
