When I was having the 'connection timed out' errors this weekend, I was getting them in cron emails generated from stderr output. From the README/manpage for setiathome, -email Send email (to login email address) on errors. Useful if you run in background directed to /dev/null. I've never gotten mail from setiathome. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
