As for the requested info: /etc/passwd: mailman:x:72:67:GNU mailing list manager:/var/lib/mailman:/bin/bash /etc/cron.allow: mythtv mailman /etc/cron.deny: guest gast I also looked at a maiden install of opensuse 11.3 64 bit on a virtual machine and that one has identical configuration, accept for the /etc/cron.allow which is missing. Note that /etc/cron.allow was being ignored before I modified the PAM config. There is one notable difference however which is that when I go in to Yast2/Security and Users and set Filter to "system users", it shows that mailman has login enabled on the maiden install but has it disabled on the machine that is giving the problem. I think disabling login for the mailman account is a better setting anyway. I don't know if this was done by an older SuSE install or whether I disabled the login myself. But in any case disabling user logins is one of the most elementary security measures. PS. mythtv is in the /etc/cron.allow for a similar reason (see the mail thread at http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/4522...) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
