Hi!

I've been using FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 for quite a while now, and I have found it to 
be quite stable (better than 386bsd anyway) - I have one problem though...

Whenever I have to reboot the machine etc, cron seems to ignore all jobs for 1 
day - ie. the maillogs don't rotate for an extra day, and from then everything 
is fine until the next reboot.....

Can anyone help me with this "frustrating" problem??

Oh, and replies by email please - News is a little hard to get to around here!
