Execute this command: /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --local --add --rename --divert /etc/cron.daily/cfengine /etc/cron.daily/cfengine.norun This will move the cron file so that dpkg knows you did it. Also the '.' in the new name will make run-parts not run it (norun :). To mave it back: /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --remove /etc/cron.daily/cfengine.norun good luck, Ben -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems Inc.
