PAM & crond

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am having a problem w/ a new RHEL 4 box & crond.

I have a user who has created some cron jobs, but the do not run.
 
The error I see in /var/log/cron is:
 
crond[2888]: (username) ORPHAN (no passwd entry).
 
Now, I know that this error typically means that a file is installed in /var/spool/cron for a username that doesn't have an entry in /etc/passwd.
 
True, this user doesn't have an entry in /usr/passwd.  This user is authenticated via NIS.
 
Is this error a result of the /etc/pam.d/crond file?  If so, how do I tell PAM to check NIS too?

Thanks,
Aaron
