Hi all,

since the installation of netbsd-current-950902, I have problems with the
execution of the daily script file being executed.

There are no error messages, neither does it cause the system to crash, but it
leaves a trail of not completed/terminated processes behind:

The daily.out logfile was created, but the mail notifier never made it to its 
destination. I had the same problem once before when trying an earlier version of
netbsd-current (can't remember the actuell version).

Mail seems to get in and out the system without problem, since I am still receiving
the netbsd mailing lists ;-)

A similar problem which I have noticed before, was that in some cases I was
unable to kill slattach (kill -9 slattach_process_number). The only way of terminating
this process was to reboot (changing into single user mode didn't work).

Anyone with some ideas????
