Bingo. From the command line, I get the email... from cron, I get
nothing.

Yep, it's there.
MAILNOVIOLATIONS       =true

Checked on a comment which wasn't sent to the list... tripwire IS
installed in one of root's paths.

Mandrake 8.1.
Trying to think if I've upgraded or installed anything that might affect
cron, and I don't think so. While I have a newer kernel than what's
running, I'm not using it, so I'm still with the default for MDK 8.1
(2.4.8)

Thanks,
