--- Begin Message ---Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-91 Severity: normal Cron tries to backup shadow and gshadow, but cron doesn't have read access to these files. On SELinux, this backup should be handled by a special task (with special permissions), so cron.daily/standard should not backup these files on an SELinux enabled system. Example code fragment to test for SELinux: if test -x /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled && /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled; then # run only if SELinux enabled fi -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-rc4 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8@euro (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.67.2 Add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.14.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.26-1 SELinux shared libraries Versions of packages cron recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-agen 2.2.4-1.0.1 A high-performance mail transport -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Version: 3.0pl1-117 This bug was fixed in version 3.0pl1-117 of the cron package. The backup of the passwords was moved over to a different package. From the changelog: * debian/standard.daily: - Backup of /etc/{passd,group} is no longer performed by cron; the task was handed over to src:shadow (see #554170). In Squeeze, this task will be performed redundantly by both packages (as discussed on debian-release) Regards Javier
