I'm getting tons of log mail because of this, but I don't want to just comment out the cronjob because it is annoying. It is only happening on one of my FreeBSD 5.2.1 boxes, and the only thing I can figure that is causing it (different from other boxes) is that it is running the dhcpd server. Any thoughts? Thanks, Duane Winner dwinner@icebox# mail Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type ? for help.
