(System error)


PAM System errors should've been logged. What's the output of these:

```
$ fgrep cron /var/log/messages
$ readelf -p .comment /usr/sbin/cron /usr/lib/libpam.so*
$ readelf -p .comment /usr/lib/security/pam_rootok.so.4
$ file /usr/lib/security/pam_rootok.so.4
$ ls -l /usr/lib/security/pam_rootok.so.4
```
