Problems with periodic scripts in jails [Cron <operator@sosai> /usr/libexec/save-entropy]

[Josef Karthauser]

I'm getting some wierd emails from a jail (5.2.1) that I've got running.
It appears that permissions are messed up periodically.

I get a fair few of these, but not every time the entropy cronjob is
executed.  I'm also getting wierd errors for another cron that
I've installed myself.

Has anyone seen this before?

Joe
