There may be credentials in those files which are readably by cron but not by other users. So, IMO, there may be a privilege elevation issue, but those files can be seen only by the command that is being called, so the chance is slim. -- 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.
