KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type & cron
Running as cron, I get error msg in mail:
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type,
even though the ftp does work. Can anyone explain this? Is there a way to stop it?
cron:
35 6 * * 1-5 ./PSS/pss.sh >> ./PSS/pss.log
script pss.sh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
DIR=/home/informix/PSS
/usr/kerberos/bin/ftp -v -n << _EOF_

Hi
We are running SCO ver 5. Recently the cron daemon stopped running on its own. How do I find out why? How do I restart/stop it?
I typed cron but it didn't work. Will rebooting it do the trick or can I manually start and stop the cron daemon?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards. (9 Replies)

cron
cron(1M) System Administration Commands cron(1M)
NAME
cron - clock daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/cron
DESCRIPTION
cron starts a process that executes commands at specified dates and times.
You can specify regularly scheduled commands to cron according to instructions found in crontab files in the directory
/var/spool/cron/crontabs. Users can submit their own crontab file using the crontab(1) command. Commands which are to be executed only once
can be submitted using the at(1) command.
cron only examines crontab or at command files during its own process initialization phase and when the crontab or at command is run. This
reduces the overhead of checking for new or changed files at regularly scheduled intervals.
As cron never exits, it should be executed only once. This is done routinely by way of the svc:/system/cron:default service. The file
/etc/cron.d/FIFO file is used as a lock file to prevent the execution of more than one instance of cron.
cron captures the output of the job's stdout and stderr streams, and, if it is not empty, mails the output to the user. If the job does not
produce output, no mail is sent to the user. An exception is if the job is an at(1) job and the -m option was specified when the job was
submitted.
cron and at jobs are not executed if your account is locked. Jobs and processses execute. The shadow(4) file defines which accounts are not
locked and will have their jobs and processes executed.
Setting cron Jobs Across Timezones
The timezone of the cron daemon sets the system-wide timezone for cron entries. This, in turn, is by set by default system-wide using
/etc/default/init. The timezone for cron entries can be overridden in a user's crontab file; see crontab(1).
If some form of daylight savings or summer/winter time is in effect, then jobs scheduled during the switchover period could be executed
once, twice, or not at all.
Setting cron Defaults
To keep a log of all actions taken by cron, you must specify CRONLOG=YES in the /etc/default/cron file. If you specify CRONLOG=NO, no log-
ging is done. Keeping the log is a user configurable option since cron usually creates huge log files.
You can specify the PATH for user cron jobs by using PATH= in /etc/default/cron. You can set the PATH for root cron jobs using SUPATH= in
/etc/default/cron. Carefully consider the security implications of setting PATH and SUPATH.
Example /etc/default/cron file:
CRONLOG=YES
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:
This example enables logging and sets the default PATH used by non-root jobs to /usr/bin:/usr/ucb:. Root jobs continue to use
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin.
The cron log file is periodically rotated by logadm(1M).

NOTES
The cron service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/cron:default
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. Most administrative actions may be delegated to users with the solaris.smf.man-
age.cron authorization (see rbac(5) and smf_security(5)).
DIAGNOSTICS
A history of all actions taken by cron is stored in /var/cron/log and possibly in /var/cron/olog.
