So what you're saying is that you did a source upgrade rather than a binary upgrade, and that you got the sources from the CD? If so, and you did a "buildworld" but no buildkernel/installkernel? That means you're still running a 5.4 kernel. Perhaps you mis-typed your "usual commands"?

The save-entropy cron job (type "apropos entropy" if you still don't know what entropy is) does, indeed, run 11 minutes from crontab. Like all the startup scripts, it includes /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf to let you set configuration for its behaviour. I suspect that you have some bad syntax in rc.conf; you can run it through sh to see: "sh /etc/rc.conf". _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
