Hi,
I'm running 11.2. I just noticed on every box I have,
root /root > crontab Permission denied You (root) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam configuration.
And in syslog,
Dec 16 13:03:40 desk2 crontab: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/password-auth Dec 16 13:03:40 desk2 crontab: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/password-auth
I've certainly never set any PAM config, or anything. On 11.1 I had no such problems.
checking cron's man page, it references the pam man page. Checking the pam & PAM man pages, there's no mention of cron :-/
What's PAM got to do with cron, and how do I get permission to access it?
Pam has to do with who can long on and what services they can run. Do you have root login blocked in Yast? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
