update: OpenBSD 4.8 weird time or cron problems
I noticed that this was sent by email by cron when attempted to execute the process: Your Terminal type is unknown! Enter a terminal type: [vt100] Why? i don't know. I added TERM=220 into root's crontab and it worked. The thing is that it never needed it .. why now it does?

This is a OpenBSD 4.8 with it's kernel modified to have pci.c rev 1.72 , in order to make it run on a IBM x336 server. Everything was working perfect. Until i added today a new user. Then i used vipw to change it's group. After that i noticed that my hourly script configured at cron was not being executed. When i looked the messages log i saw this: Jul 19 02:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 04:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 06:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 08:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 10:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 13:51:44 srv sendmail: /etc/pwd.db: No such file or directory Jul 19 13:52:25 srv last message repeated 14 times Jul 19 13:54:29 srv last message repeated 48 times Jul 19 14:00:01 srv last message repeated 159 times Jul 19 11:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 14:00:10 srv sendmail: /etc/pwd.db: No such file or directory Jul 19 14:00:40 srv last message repeated 20 times Jul 19 14:02:39 srv last message repeated 54 times Jul 19 14:12:29 srv last message repeated 263 times Jul 19 14:22:37 srv last message repeated 238 times Jul 19 14:32:41 srv last message repeated 298 times Jul 19 14:42:40 srv last message repeated 250 times Jul 19 14:52:40 srv last message repeated 216 times Jul 19 14:59:58 srv last message repeated 129 times Jul 19 12:00:01 srv syslogd: restart Jul 19 15:00:08 srv sendmail: /etc/pwd.db: No such file or directory Jul 19 15:00:39 srv last message repeated 13 times Jul 19 15:02:29 srv last message repeated 46 times Jul 19 15:12:45 srv last message repeated 200 times Jul 19 15:20:20 srv last message repeated 164 times Notice how time jumps after 10:00am . Notice after 14:00 that when syslog restarts it shows 11:00 , the right time. . I added the pwd.db and localtime into postfix's etc. I also started ntpd to set time . No difference with cron, it does not run it's hourly process anymore Date looks fine when i look at it: # date Tue Jul 19 12:29:03 ART 2011 But cron does not execute it's processes anymore. Any help will be appreciated!
