Are you serious? You break things by removing an essential, documented
file and then complain?
It's obvious that I must be dumb. I wasn't smart enough to find out that
running a program by schedule (which cron does) _must_ have something to
do with the _login_ process, which login.conf is obviously related to!!!
As if that wasn't obvious!!! ;-)
Stupid as I am I thought that documentation of cron would point to the
files that cron relies upon. Or at least, if it finds a file missing, it
would tell me which one it is. Stupid me! ;-)
> Please stop wasting our time.
And after not finding a solution by reading documentation and trying all
sorts of debugging options, I was so stupid to ask this ML if someone
has an idea which files cron would need. I'm so sorry to have wasted
your precious time! Again: stupid me! I apologize.
Anyway, I'm glad Stuart Henson was kind enough to point an obvious idiot
like me also to setusercontext (3), which finally led me to find cron is
missing login.conf. @Stu: Thx alot!
