Sorry about those last two postings. I hate learning about bugs the hard way. Anyways.... when cron runs : run-parts /etc/cron.weekly Read file error: ./rec.1 No such file or directory Read file error: ./ssh.1 No such file or directory Read file error: ./ssh-add.1 No such file or directory Read file error: ./ssh-keygen.1 No such file or directory Are some of the outputted errors. The only scipt in the cron.weekly directory is makewhatis. Why is it trying to read directories that aren't there anymore. That ssh stuff was from a .tar.gz installation that I've played with and have removed from my box. It's ok that it's not there anymore. Don
