Title: crontab is expanded with incorrect permissions
Post by: chrisgla on March 09, 2006, 06:36:23 AM

I have a SME7pre4 box that functioned fine since being pre3.  Two nights ago my crontab began to fail.  A peak into /var/log/cron showed "BAD FILE MODE" when crontab would attempt to run.  

Crontab was being created as -rwxr-xr-x

It should be created as -rw-r--r--

If I manually change it to -rw-r--r--, the crontab will function properly.  Obviously, the next change to the server breaks this.  The just began at 2am on 20060307...nothing had been changed in a week.

Check at dungog. I dropped Stephen a note early this A.M. (2:30 EST), and he had replyed with an updated version a little later. It is not in the yum repository yet, but I would expect to see it there soon.
