Just found this problem on a new server, this time using ldap as a user source instead of winbind, on Debian/etch. This server is running nscd, and it's still having the same issue.
So: I don't think your workaround actually works, marx, at least not on my systems, and this problem appears to exist upstream as well. I would be *really* nice if this could get fixed, so that cron was actually usable with centralized user management. ** Also affects: cron (Debian) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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
