Description of problem: Crond is started before sssd, so there are no remote users defined yet. Crond, as always, checks for crontab files in /var/spool/cron, but ignores files of non-existent users: i.e.: all non-local users. These files are not considered again when remote users become available. Cron logs something like: Jun 15 12:37:52 cv04 kernel: [ 16.411306] /usr/sbin/crond[685]: (visit3d) ORPHAN (no passwd entry) So crond is started way too early by systemd; it should start after network users are defined (and even after network home directories are available, as there is possibly an @reboot in the crontab). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have non-local users (LDAP, NIS, whatever). 2. Have such a user make a crontab 3. Reboot Actual results: The users' crontab is ignored. Expected results: Crontab to function as it used to. Additional info: Don't really know if this is to be filed against cronie or systemd, because cron is indeed started too early, but a robust cron should not expect the user list to remain static forever neither...
crond should be started as one of the latest services on boot. Nevertheless I'll try to make cron periodically recheck whether the orphaned crontabs are not orphaned anymore.
