What I see here is a file that was created only two hours ago, if your time zone is right (USA CST). Try this: next time it happens, reply 'y'. Then enter: # fsck /var I would expect it to no longer complain. The other thing to do is to check whether your shutdown works properly. It's possible that you have a process which isn't stopping on SIGTERM. Do you get a 'giving up' message before reboot? That could be the problem. Do you know your 'From:' address is screwed up? Greg
