A few days ago (due to a broken harddisk) I've installed Lenny from scratch on my laptop. I've copied pretty much every configuration from the old installation (Etch) and everything seems good.
Well, everything but a couple of things: first of all, at install time I chose "no root login" but only a user with sudo grants. So, the root account is locked: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo passwd -S root root L 07/21/2008 0 99999 7 -1 Now, first difference I've noticed from the previous (Etch) install is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo su - Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator su: User account has expired (Ignored) klingon:~# Ok, not so annoying, but I'm not sure it's the right message: shouldn't the account be locked and not expired? Anyway, this leads to the second, more important issue: crond is not running jobs owned by root. For example: syslog: Jul 22 20:17:01 klingon CRON[3060]: User account has expired auth.log: Jul 22 12:17:01 klingon CRON[3060]: pam_unix(cron:account): account root has expired (account expired) Of course, I could unlock root account, but I thought it was good practice to avoid root login from tty/ssh etc, and I'm pretty sure this configuration was working well under Etch. Could this be considered as a bug? Should I report it? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
