Description of problem: The /etc/cron.d/smolt crontab is set up to use the smolt username, as of the update to version 1.1-1, but the smolt package doesn't create this username. As a result, cron logs these errors on startup: Feb 26 17:09:52 localhost crond[2225]: CRON: error in (/etc/cron.d/smolt) problem is (bad username) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1-1.fc9.noarch (fc7 & fc8 likely also affected) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. "yum update" to update to smolt-1.1-1.fc9.noarch.rpm 2. reboot, or restart crond service 3. grep smolt /var/log/cron Actual results: Feb 26 17:09:52 localhost crond[2225]: CRON: error in (/etc/cron.d/smolt) problem is (bad username) Expected results: No errors, cron reads crontab line and runs smoltSendProfile monthly. Additional info: %pre script should do a useradd, as most other packages do when they need a dedicated username, and %preun script should likely do a userdel. See rpcbind or dovecot packages for examples of these. Some packages (e.g. bind, gdm) don't do userdel, but it's a bit tidier if they do.
Buah crap, new I missed something.
Fixed in 1.1-2.
