I never claimed there's no /etc/crontab file. I claimed there's no root crontab which, as some posters have noted, is something different. On the 4.3 systems I have around here, there's a root crontab starting like this: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/adcrcln339/crontab installed on Mon Jun 11 20:53:28 2001) # (Cron version -- $FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab/crontab.c,v 1.12.2.2 2000/12/11 01:03:31 obrien Exp $) It's no big deal. I was just wondering where that came from and why I'm no longer seeing it. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
