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!
