Description Rich Jerrido 2016-08-02 19:33:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
The SCAP plugin uses /var/spool/cron/root, which is the root users crontab by default. As this file is managed via puppet, it is expected that users do not modify it. However, users frequently modify this file, and we'd overwrite their changes without warning. 

It is suggested to use a file in /etc/cron.d/, such as /etc/cron.d/foreman_scap_client, that way it can be ensured that the configuration for the SCAP client isn't intermingled with the users other cron jobs. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
puppet-foreman_scap_client-0.3.3-10.el7sat.noarch
