Sorry, as previous comments have mentioned, the timeline to get this fixed means all of my affected systems have been migrated to other distros / authentication methods / workarounds in the intervening 6 years. I've actually switched jobs twice since this bug was opened, and the place I work now is a CentOS shop, so I have no ability to reproduce or test this bug.
In other words: please use this bug as an example for your managers of why people are reluctant to use Ubuntu on servers and in the data center. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/27520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
