Running CentOS 4 w/ BlueQuartz on a whitebox, and getting this cron.daily email:

Is this a common problem? Thoughts on a typical solution?

thnx, Manny

I have the same problem.

I asked Brian (NuOnce) about it as I am running his ISO and he has not responded with a solution yet.

The error in more detail is:
