Yep... see... told you it was getting frustrating :}

Actually it was a whole list of problems, I suppose, caused by me compiling
over the rpm. I normally compile my own sshd's so I wasn't prepared for the
rpm shock i guess.

cron is running a script that checks for an sshd2 PID every minute. If it
finds it it kills everything, very severely I may add. Then restarts it. The
restart was pointing to the rpm binary, not the one I compiled. I had also
deleted the symlink from rc3.d a few days ago and forgot to replace it so
sshd2 wasn't init'ing in runlevel 3. And the cron job that was running the
script from /etc/cron.d had a MAILTO at the top....

So anyway. It looks like eveything is fine. But I got rid of the mailto and
it's still mailing to? I did a -HUP on cron's PID and it didn't kill it (the
MAILTO). I restarted it completely and it didn't kill it. I just did a kernel
compile and after the reboot it's still there. I checked crontab -e and
/etc/cron.* for anything and there are no more entries anywhere. Is there
something else I may need to do to reload the crontabs?

Thanks,
