This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

--- Additional comment from pm-rhel on 2011-01-12 10:18:42 EST ---

This request was erroneously denied for the current release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.  The error has been fixed and this
request has been re-proposed for the current release.

In the same version-release


.I/etc/passwd; 

should be

.I /etc/passwd;

Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2011-04-28 07:33:17 UTC
This problem is on cron.8 man page two times 
(.I/etc/passwd;
and
.I/etc/cron.d
rows )

Comment 2 Brian Gollaher 2011-09-02 16:54:02 UTC
Let's try to get this in 5.8.
