Cron Errors

I am receiving an error from my mail server. In the body of the message it says:

/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch: error: failed to open /etc/mtab for reading

I get this error message every morning at 4:02am.

I checked the rights on mtab and root has all rights...cron is run as root also.

Does anyone have any ideas? Please help.

Why don't you just search google before posting?

Thanks for the info. I've searched about everywhere except there. I'll give it a try.
Thanks again.
