<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I set up password policy on my FDS box and things were
humming along just fine until people’s passwords expired (100 days). Users
can still log in to our linux boxen as normal (though we were seeing Invalid
Credentials log entries). I disabled password policy, however now cron jobs no
longer work. I tried setting something up like so:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>* * * * * /bin/date >> /var/tmp/test.txt<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>But nothing gets logged. There’s no even an entry in
the cron logfile. This appears to be LDAP related since local user crons still
work. I’ve looked in the /var/log/messages and /var/log/cron, but it’s
as if my boxes just stopped recognizing user crons altogether. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ides on the right direction to look?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
