5.1R, cron job "system-entropy" sending error email every 11 minutes

Rather tedious...

The error email contains "ifconfig: not found" four times;  running 
system-entropy in trace mode I can see it executing commands from 
/etc/rc.conf and ifconfig is bombing on these:

   + ifconfig wi0 ssid WAP1
   ifconfig: not found
   + ifconfig wi0 stationname x200
   ifconfig: not found
   + ifconfig wi0 wep
   ifconfig: not found

What is further odd is that these commands work fine when the system boots 
and if I execute them from my shell.

Any suggestion?
