Good news. The exorcist came in and cleansed the box. I killed sendmail and mail.local processes. There was a crontab file in /var/cron/tabs called "root" which was exactly the same as the on that I had in /etc/crontab. I deleted that, dumped the files out of the spool and dumped that ridiculous large email in /var/mail/. I rebooted and the box is quiet like a mouse. I already had the default seti@home client running, which wasn't the problem. I started the 2nd client (which was the one that I tried to enter into cron) manually, and its quietly number crunching looking for ET and the BORG. So all is good again. This was my first time fixing a problem without reinstalling, so put it in the archive so some other newbie can have an idea as to what to do. Thanks all for your insight. _________________________________________ Steiny's Studio Pachyderm Productions http://steiny.hypermart.net mailto:info@steiny.hypermart.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
