Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-100
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In edit_cmd() (in crontab.c) the tmp-file got reopend after editing by
open_tmp_crontab() but does not get closed again before
cleanup_tmp_crontab() is called. This is no problem on most systems but
with nfs-root (and therefor /tmp on nfs also) the still open tmp file
got renamed to .nfs???? on unlink. So the rmdir call on the tmp-dir
fails and produces an error message. Also on program exit the empty dir
is left back in /tmp.
