Pretty much, though for me reordering the init scripts wasn't enough as there was some delay between the time nslcd (the LDAP cache daemon) was started and it being operational. In any case we need a mechanism for cron to refresh its idea of which users are valid at a given time. It already checks upon executing a cron job whether the user is still there, it would also need to check regularly (or upon notification of the NSS system) when new users come into life. Or because it checks before executing the jobs anyway, cron could skip the check for orphan crontabs at startup altogether (or maybe just issue a warning that some crontabs could be cleaned up). -- cron no longer respects nsswitch.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
