History preceding this > symptom: You have either a /etc/crontab-like file (with the extra user name) in /var/cron/crontabs/root or you put an extra parameter on the atrun line which means that the user name is taken as a command. Look into /var/cron/crontabs. If you have a file named root, "rm" it. The root crontab is only in /etc/crontab. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #2: Fri May 10 21:09:14 MET DST 1996
