Re: [cobalt-security] cron and chkrootkit

You should not have to restart crond on the cube. This happens automatically if you use "crontab -e" correct?

>>> njd76@xxxxxxxxxxx 09/25/02 10:38AM >>>

No i did not do that in the past but i tried it today and it did not work. 
At 1:35 i wanted to run it as a test. I had the following in the 
/etc/crontab

00 13:35 * * * (cd /home/sites/home/users/admin/chkrootkit-0.37;
./chkrootkit | mail -s "chkrootkit output" root 2>&1)

Again it works when i put the following below at the prompt. But not in the 
crontab
#cd /home/sites/home/users/admin/chkrootkit-0.37; ./chkrootkit | mail -s 
"chkrootkit output" root 2>&1)

Any other ideas here?
Please...
