RE: [cobalt-security] daily cron error

["Edward R. Milstein" <eddie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look in the /var/log/xferlog file and see what you see..

I suspect you got no response because people expect you to do some
looking before asking for help...

If you don't care about the data (not charging for it or something like
that) than clearing the file is a natural next step to clear up the
error message..

As root:

 % cp /dev/null /var/log/xferlog (to clear all the data within it)
