Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-86 Severity: normal After upgrading from woody to sarge, cron stopped running the scheduled crontabs for users in NIS.
I restarted cron manually and this seems to have picked up the users' crontabs. I noticed during the aptitude dist-upgrade that nis was shut down, perhaps cron was restarted before NIS was restarted? Anyway, now the users cannot edit their own crontabs. Here's sample output from "ls -la /var/spool/cron/crontabs": drwx-wx--T 2 root crontab 4096 Sep 16 2004 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec 15 2003 .. -rw------- 1 root serverteam 303 Sep 16 2004 serverteam (..more files which all are owned by root:users-group..) I manually chown'ed the files to user:crontab, and things are back to normal. I actually remember some "chmod" warnings scrolling by during the upgrade, but I cannot remember the specifics. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.30 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=no_NO.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
