--- Begin Message ---Package: passwd Version: 1:4.5-1.1 This is regards to passwd.cron.daily which backups passwd/group/shadow/gshadow daily, which AFAICT is not upstream, but may have been in the past. I'm looking at what it takes to run systems without cron and following the example of other packages like logrotate: They add this bit to the cron script: # skip in favour of systemd timer if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then exit 0 fi and then create a systemd service/timer. Happy to do the work to make a patch if the above is the preferred solution. ___ Alternatively, I have also wondered if the cron job functionality is still needed or if the built-in generated backups are enough - /etc/group- etc. On my machine the /etc/group- backup would have been much more useful then the one replaced daily by the cron job in /var/backups. Thanks!
