cron problems
Has anyone else had problems with cron since version cron_3.0pl1-45.deb was installed into hamm ? The following error messages from crom were in my mailbox this morning. Subject :Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> root run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily Message body : /bin/sh: root: command not found I got the same reports for cron.monthly and cron.weekly Looks like it's spitting the dummy on the root part, not recognising it's the user to run under, not part of the command.

Broken Mail
Hi all, I have a rather urgent problem I need some help with. Yesterday I had to move my /var directory from it's own partition to the same partition as /. No Problem, I'll use tar to preserve file permissions and links I thought. It all went ok except for the mail. My local mail is now broken. I'm using exim as my local mda and It's not delivering mail at all. The /var/log/exim/mainlog shows the following errors 1998-02-13 13:53:00 0y38rI-00077A-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> T=local_delivery defer (-30): Retry time not yet reached 1998-02-13 13:53:00 0y37Nj-00071c-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> T=local_delivery defer (-30): Retry time not yet reached 1998-02-13 13:53:00 0y37IW-00071T-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> T=local_delivery defer (-30): Retry time not yet reached These messages happen every time cron runs exim -q. My windows machine normally connects to Linux to collect mail but since this happened I'm getting error opening messages in syslog. /var/log/exim/paniclog is empty. I originally thought it was something to do with file permissions on the /var/spool/mail files or the mail directory itself but nothing I do has any effect. Can someone please post the permissions for their /var/spool/mail directory and the files contained in it ?... And if anyone has had this problem before and manged to solve it, some help would really be appreciated. Which base package is responsible for setting up mail ?. If all else fails can I reinstall this package ?. My system is running hamm. Please help me, I'm stuck using windows mail until I get this fixed.

How do I start X using more than 8bp ? I've tried startx -bpp16 startx --bpp16 going thru all the startup and config scripts I could find reading how-to's and man pages hiring a witchdoctor No luck.. I'm using the X-Free packages in hamm. Server is XF86_SVGA Hardware is AMD K5-pr133 , 40meg ram and a S3-Virge-DX PCI video card with 2 meg of ram on it. Once I get this figured out, my next question will be How do I tell xdm that I want X-Windows started this way.
