Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-87
Severity: normal
Ldap authentication using a remote server and lib_nss occasionally
makes all processes that are created by cron hang as "/USR/BIN/CRON". It
appears something is wrong with the ldap connection to the ldapserver.
The problem is resolved by restarting the remote slapd daemon and the
cron daemon on the local machine. All hanging CRON processes then finish
normally. Failing to do so will fill up the entrire process table with
"/USR/BIN/CRON" processes until the machine hangs or is no longer
accesible. After this a reboot is the only option to get the system
running again.

Since everything in this report indicates the issue originated with
libnss-ldap and was solved with a later version thereof, I am closing
this (ancient) bug report.
