Christian: Sorry, I was being a little facetious. Yes, the recent traffic on this bug indicates things have changed with regards to these kinds of issues. That being said, it did take 5 years for anyone to bother looking into it. Forgive me if I'm a little pessimistic about the speed with which things will get resolved.
Regardless, it's been my experience that Ubuntu doesn't backport fixes of this nature to releases that have already shipped. I've found that the bugs must constitute a clear, widespread problem for a majority of users before a backport is even considered. That's more what I was speaking to than just a fix getting applied. If that policy's changed, please correct me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27520 Title: cron daemon caches user-non-existent lookup results, causing "ORPHAN" message and skipping jobs for all LDAP/NIS-defined users -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
