I'm now seeing similar behavior under both the old and new kernels. However, I never saw the behavior before installing 0.24mdk. kernel-2.4.21-0.24mdk: /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `U': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `y': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `T': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `p': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 66: printf: `m': invalid format character kernel-2.4.21-0.18md: /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `U': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `y': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `T': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `p': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `@': invalid format character /etc/cron.daily/msec: line 69: printf: `m': invalid format character Below is a list of the packages installed since the last clean admin report 07-22-2003 at 10:11:34 am. The arts packages are rebuilt from cooker SRPMs. I also rebuilt and installed kdelibs (29mdk), but that was after problem showed up. libarts-devel-1.1.2-8mdk Tue 22 Jul 2003 09:58:58 PM CDT arts-1.1.2-8mdk Tue 22 Jul 2003 09:58:56 PM CDT libarts-1.1.2-8mdk Tue 22 Jul 2003 09:58:43 PM CDT kernel-doc-2.4.21-0.24mdk Tue 22 Jul 2003 04:21:12 PM CDT kernel-source-2.4.21-0.24mdk Tue 22 Jul 2003 04:12:07 PM CDT kernel-2.4.21.0.24mdk-1-1mdk Tue 22 Jul 2003 02:09:39 PM CDT Arn
