Topic

Updated cronie packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The cronie packages contain the standard UNIX daemon crond, which runs specified programs at scheduled times, and related tools. They are a fork of the original vixie-cron cron implementation and have security and configuration enhancements like the ability to use Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAMs) and SELinux.

  • Previously, getpwnam() failures were not handled as temporary failures. Consequently, cron jobs failed to be executed not only during downtime of the server providing user identity, but also after the server was running again. With this update, all getpwnam() failures are handled as temporary. As a result, cron jobs are executed after user identity server downtime. (BZ#1358803)
  • Previously, when cronie was set to redirect cron job output to syslog using the "-s" flag, the output loop exited prematurely. Consequently, the output was truncated after the first character. With this update, the output loop no longer exits prematurely. As a result, cron job output is logged correctly now. (BZ#1358804)

Users of cronie are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix two bugs.
