Well our cron is now working again. I cp'd the file on cron.daily and
renamed it and deleted the older one. I checked our stats program and all is
working. I was looking at the archives and someone had posted that when they
did a kernel update that the logs took a few days to rotate. Well I should
say also that I tried Barbara's idea of rebooting a couple times also. So
not sure which one kick started it. The odd thing is that on both of our
raq's the date and time is still acting goofy, by being 2-3 days off or
maybe just an hour off. We use NTP so not sure. Could these be related?
