Package: lynis
Version: 1.3.9-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While reviewing the test_scheduling script for Lynis, I realized that
while it had fairly comprehensive tests for cron jobs it did not include
tests for jobs called from /etc/anacrontab. I worked up a quick patch
that adds equivalent tests for anacrontab as existed for crontabs.
I've attached the patch I worked up for consideration.
Thanks again,
Dave Vehrs
