Could you please provide the contents of your /etc/pam.d/cron session file as well as of your /etc/security/limits.conf file? The default cron PAM configuration in Debian has this: ------------------------------------------------------------ # Sets up user limits, please define limits for cron tasks # through /etc/security/limits.conf session required pam_limits.so ------------------------------------------------------------ As I cannot reproduce this bug it looks to me that is a local issue at your end. Maybe you have some specific configuration in your system's /etc/security/limits.conf that applies to system cron's jobs and elicits that error message. Regards Javier
