Hi there,

what is the impact of these changes:
- Do default installs work the same way as before?
- Do existing setups (crontabs) keep working?

If yes then I'd consider the permission changes to be fixes, or at least standard packaging changes.

What is is the policy for existing cron.allow/cron.deny, i.e. what would `rpmconf -a` tell me?


The default installs work same as before.
Existing crontabs keep working as usual.

The only difference is that if you have populated the cron.deny list, after update it gets saved as .rpmsave and cron.allow is created.
If the cron.deny is blank, it will get replaced.
Also, if you had cron.allow populated before, it will stay this way and blank cron.allow.rpmnew is created.


Thanks, that sounds like the typical things to expect during an upgrade. We typically don't even have release notes mentioning this, but it would be nice, since it's even a "plus" for F40 (compliance, hardening).

Cheers
Michael
