Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-127 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have a file in /etc/cron.d that runs jobs as a user that is not in /etc/passwd, but is in my NIS passwd database. When I reboot the system the job never runs, and there is no error message in the logs. Other jobs in /etc/cron.d that have entries in /etc/passwd work fine. If I stop and start cron using systemctl the job with the user that is not in /etc/passwd but is in the NIS passwd database runs as scheduled. I believe this is a problem with the start up order for cron. On my system cron is starting up before ypbind. I think it should be starting up afterwards. I am not enough of an expert in systemd to figure out how to set up dependencies for cron to fix this. -- Package-specific info: --- EDITOR: not set --- /usr/bin/editor: /usr/bin/vim.gnome --- /usr/bin/crontab: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root crontab 36008 Oct 25 2014 /usr/bin/crontab --- /var/spool/cron: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 48 Aug 29 2007 /var/spool/cron --- /var/spool/cron/crontabs: drwx-wx--T 2 root crontab 29 Apr 28 13:54 /var/spool/cron/crontabs --- /etc/cron.d: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 105 Apr 26 14:51 /etc/cron.d --- /etc/cron.daily: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 28 11:39 /etc/cron.daily --- /etc/cron.hourly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 25 Apr 26 12:47 /etc/cron.hourly --- /etc/cron.monthly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 84 Apr 26 14:35 /etc/cron.monthly --- /etc/cron.weekly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 90 Apr 26 14:35 /etc/cron.weekly -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debianutils 4.4+b1 ii dpkg 1.17.25 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 Versions of packages cron recommends: ii sendmail-bin [mail-transport-agent] 8.14.4-8 Versions of packages cron suggests: ii anacron 2.3-23 pn checksecurity <none> ii logrotate 3.8.7-1+b1 Versions of packages cron is related to: pn libnss-ldap <none> pn libnss-ldapd <none> pn libpam-ldap <none> pn libpam-mount <none> ii nis 3.17-33 ii nscd 2.19-18 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
