Re: cron

Hi Jared,

I did nothing :-)

I do not even know what termcap is.

The remote machine is an AIX 7.1 LPAR.   Something is not quite right on my machine, because whenever I ssh into this AIX LPAR or to any Linux machines - Ubuntu, centos, does not matter -, I always get the following interaction or similar to it:

<nyissz>
bml0041:~ janos$ ssh [email protected]
[email protected]'s password: 
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
<nyassz>

But, because everithing worked after it, I never payed any attention to it.  Could this be the root cause of the cron problem at hand ?
I do not know.

Thanks ahead,

János
