Hi. I had the same problem with one of my RaQ3s. When I saw the error, I checked on another RaQ3 for differences in the /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate.auto files and noted an extra unlink() #/sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1 As you can see, I commented out the original script, replaced it with the one from the functioning RaQ3 and volia. I have no idea where the extra statement came from or why, but the problem has subsided. Does anyone know what unlink() is used for and how/why it appeared in my script on one of the RaQ3s? Hope this helps. # old #sleep 46 #/usr/sbin/ntpdate 204.123.2.5 >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1 #/sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1 #unlink() #/sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1 new sleep 177 /usr/sbin/ntpdate 204.123.2.5 >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1 /sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1 Brandon Wheaton GVAS Operations Engineer ValiCert, Inc. 1215 Terra Bella Ave. Mountain View, CA 94043 650.567.5430 ---- Computers are useless; they can only provide answers. ~Pablo Picasso -----Original Message----- From: Robert G.
