Also affects Ubuntu lucid 10.04. crontabs for LDAP users are ignored on boot. You need to edit the user's crontab or cron reload for the LDAP users crontabs to be loaded.
A work around could be to do a "reload cron" every time a network interface goes up or down. I suppose the fix would be to load all the crontabs but to check for the presence of the user only upon running the jobs. -- cron no longer respects nsswitch.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
