I have an interesting/frustrating cron problem, which searching through the archives
of this list doesn't seem to address. Unfortunately, this is keeping me from taking
a new server production.
Cron refuses to execute any user's crontab, replying with a "! bad user (<username>)"
message in /var/cron/log. I have check password aging, and RBAC, and can't seem to
find a reason. Here's what I have:
cronjob:
0-59 * * * * touch /tmp/test
excerpt from /var/cron/log:
> CMD: touch /tmp/test
> root 12060 c Mon Nov 25 17:57:00 2002
! bad user (root) Mon Nov 25 17:57:00 2002
< root 12060 c Mon Nov 25 17:57:00 2002 rc=1
truss output from the process:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'll summarize to the list.
