Re: failed convert to trusted sytem

Can you show the output of 'll /var/spool/cron/crontabs'?

Looks like crontab for root has some problem.
check it, if required just copy it as something and delete original.

Try converting to trusted mode and one done put in crontab again.

Re: failed convert to trusted sytem

which os you are trying?

# /usr/lbin/tscovert -cp

what it is saying? If you are having problem then remove that crontab and convert it again.
