cant do anything to process via cron on 5.2.1-RC

[Ivo Mencke]

Hello list members,

This should probably go to freebsd-users, but all i run here is freebsd
on sparc64 so i thought i'd try this first. I am running the sparc64
port for some time now on sun E220's, and for the first time i have
tried to use cron to restart bind daily.

All normal commands like "touch /testfile" work fine but anything i try
on the named process refuses to work, like to kill it, or just to run
"/etc/rc.d/named restart". These commands work fine if i run them from
the cli.

Could this be because it is running chroot'ed into /etc/namedb ? any
help greatly appreciated, 

thanks,

ivo.
