[gentoo-user] /etc/cron.d being ignored
Hi. I am using sys-process/vixie-cron-4.1-r9 and I have discovered that the files in /etc/cron.d are not being processed. Is this a known bug or does this version of cron not process that directory?

It does work for me, as mentioned in the docs. The caveat is that entries have to be entered in /etc/crontab syntax (ie, with an explicit username). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Ah...well, then I'm afraid I can't help you, since it works for me. I tested it with a simple entry like this: # cat /etc/cron.d/testcrond 52 10 * * *root /usr/bin/touch /root/testfile and the file "testfile" appeared as expected at 10:52.

Ignore my previous reply, whatever I was on, it had insufficient caffeine :( cron.d does indeed work here, provided the lines have exactly the same format as in crontab; e.g. "tail -n 1 /etc/crontab >/etc/cron.d/test" works as it should.

[gentoo-user] How to get sshd to start on boot?
How do I configure sshd to start at boot time? When I boot up with eth0 (hard-wired ethernet) connected, sshd starts. If I boot up with just a wireless network (wpa-supplicant), sshd refuses to start because eth0 isn't configured: Mar 16 09:27:59 ThinkGrant rc-scripts: ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start Mar 16 09:28:00 ThinkGrant rc-scripts: ERROR: cannot start sshd as net.eth0 could not start If I start sshd manually after the wireless link comes up, it works fine, but the startup script seems to think it's smarter than I am.

If I recall correctly you need to either tell it that it doesn't need eth0 but can use wlan0 or eth1 or ra0 or whatever your wireless card is called. Alternatively there may be a way to make sure sshd doesnt try to start until after your wireless is up and running. Someone will likely chime in in a bit with a full and concise explanation but this may give you a starting point if you want to have a rummage.
