Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cron
If have some symlinks below /etc/cron.d pointing to another directory
(configuration repository).
E.g. /etc/cron.d/c42-dump-fs is such a symlink.
On restart of crond i found following in the syslog:
Feb 22 23:23:43 XXXX cron[6128]: (*system*c42-dump-fs) WRONG INODE INFO
(/etc/cron.d/c42-dump-fs)
The file has also a marker for syslog:
@daily nobody logger -p local0.notice -t CRON '$Id: c42-dump-fs.XXXX 4388
2011-02-15 23:41:20Z XXXX $'
This is also not printed in the syslog.
For the other symlinked configuration it is the same.
On my lucid machines the symlinks behaves well.
