Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem on my Ubuntu 9.10 computer.
Workaround: inserting the following 2 lines in /etc/rc.local:
sleep 15
/etc/init.d/cron restart
until finding the correct pam/ldap/nsswitch files configuration...
Regards
Pascal

Thanks again Chuck, I think my /etc/pam.d/cron is already identical to
Upen's,

Here's my /etc/pam.d/common-auth,

@jabiko
What if you configure your /etc/pam.d/cron like Upen's?

Hi,
I was wondering if this is still a problem for you.
Have you tried adding the following to your /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return]
group: files ldap [UNAVAIL=return]

Hi Chuck,
I think I did try those settings in nssswitch.conf but that did not
help..Later I changed the /etc/pam.d/cron file as below,
@include common-auth
auth required pam_env.so
@include common-account
@include common-session
# Sets up user limits, please define limits for cron tasks
Thanks Chuck, as far as I know I'm still experiencing this problem -
I'll try modifying nsswitch.conf as you suggest and check if that
corrects the problem - thanks again!

Hi,
I have successfully configured Ubunut(jeos 8.04 on x86_64 arch). Auth
works fine and automount as well. But I have same issue as mentioned by
OP. these CRON messages in syslog are bothering me as well.
