Description Karsten Becker 2006-06-15 09:30:10 UTC

We are running:

[root@obtree up2date]# tail /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 7)
[root@obtree up2date]#

When running the sysstat-tools with a cron job, you get the following error
messages in the cron logs:

Jun 11 05:01:01 obtree crond[11327]: PAM adding faulty module:
/lib/security/pam_krb5.so
Jun 11 05:01:01 obtree crond[11328]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Jun 11 05:10:01 obtree crond[11493]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_krb5.so)
Jun 11 05:10:01 obtree crond[11493]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_krb5.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or
 directory]

You will get this block of error messages in the intervall you specified the
cron job to run.

The error is caused by the missing library /lib/security/pam_krb5.so. This lib
is provided by the package pam_krb5-1.77-1.i386.rpm.

If you take a look in the requiered dependencies of the sysstat-package, you
will not find an entry for the pam_krb5-package:

[root@obtree up2date]# rpm -q -R  -p sysstat-5.0.5-11.rhel3.i386.rpm

This seems to be cron problem.

Comment 2 Karsten Becker 2006-06-15 14:13:43 UTC

Oh, sorry, I copied the error messages out of a maintenance mail made with
logwatch. It filtered out the important line. Here's one original block directly
from the system affected:

Jun 11 04:20:01 obtree crond[1896]: PAM adding faulty module:
/lib/security/pam_krb5.so
Jun 11 04:20:01 obtree crond[1897]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1)
Jun 11 04:22:01 obtree crond[1900]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_krb5.so)
Jun 11 04:22:01 obtree crond[1900]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_krb5.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory]

As you can see in the 2nd line, it's a cron entry that calls sa1, which is part
of sysstat.

Comment 3 Jason Vas Dias 2006-07-25 20:02:58 UTC

This bug is fixed with the current vixie-cron-4.1-11.EL3 release of RHEL-3-U8.
