[KLUG Members] LDAP fedora core, and cron

[Adam bultman]

Good morning, everybody.

Has any of you ever converted authentication to LDAP, and then have CRON
die for  the LDAP users?

On a red hat 7.3 machine, I was able to copy an existing file in
/etc/pam.d and get it working again, but on fedora core machines, it's
different, and I don't know what needs to be put into the cron file.

When I make my own file in /etc/pam.d and edit an LDAP user's crontab,
cron will die (crond's master process will croak) when the job runs and
I have to manually restart crond using the init scripts.

I haven't found much on the net for this - obscure debian bugs - and
I've found how to configure it on solaris (every document seems to have
solaris configured for LDAP and cron) but never linux in this regard.
