I previously used the "at" command successfully to schedule downloads to run at night, when my internet connection is unmetered. Recently, when I tried to use it, I encountered two problems: 1. Running "at midnight" as my normal logged-in user (rather than as root), fails with this message: PAM failure: Failure setting user credentials You do not have permission to use at. 2. I can schedule the job as root OK, but it doesn't appear to have succeeded. I haven't received any mail from atd about this (but /var/spool/mail/root hasn't received any mail since July, and I don't know where root's mail is now being delivered to, if anywhere!) The only information I can find about what happened is this single line in /var/log/messages: Sep 25 00:00:00 fedora atd[3867]: Failure setting user credentials So basically it's the same error message occuring both times - but at different stages in the process. For a normal user you get the credentials error immediately - for root you get it when the task is scheduled to run. So, any ideas? -- Robin -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
