I have been doing some work on a FreeBSD system that required me to
change the root crontab.  I first checked the root crontab but I
didn't find anything in it.  Maybe I didn't look good enough because
about the same time I changed the root crontab the /var/log/messages
file stopped updating.  Is this related to the crontab and how do I
get this going again?

Thanks!
