Description of problem: I see this in /var/log/cron on Rawhide: Apr 12 15:12:02 rawhide32 crond[1041]: (CRON) bad month (/etc/cron.d/unbound-anchor) The contents of that file are: 10 3 1 unbound /usr/sbin/unbound-anchor -a /var/lib/unbound/root.key -c /etc/unbound/icannbundle.pem which is missing two fields. There should be 5 fields at the start of the line: minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week. So cron thinks that "unbound" is month, which leads to the complaint. The "unbound" word shouldn't be there at all, I think. After the 5 time fields, everything else is executed as a command, IIUC. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): unbound-libs-1.4.20-4.fc20.i686 How reproducible: Don't know. Just saw this for the first time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install unbound-libs 2. Wait for crond to run 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Duh, after a day of scratch builds, still left with a silly error. Fixed in 1.4.20-5, thanks! The "unbound" should be there, it is the uid to run the cron job as. But we were missing the two *'s
