For a few weeks now on my FC5-x86 system, I'm seeing the following error appear in /var/log/secure every 5 minutes: pam_loginuid(crond:session): set_loginuid failed opening loginuid
Clearly its getting triggered by some cronjob, but I can't figure
out
which as I'm not aware of any cronjobs that run every 5 minutes.
Anyone have any ideas what that error really means?
mrtg installed and running unconfigured? :-)
no, its configured, and working correctly.
I see pam_loginuid mentioned in /etc/pam.d/login ...
have you looked in /var/log/cron yet?
yup, and mrtg is the only job that apears every 5 minutes. the part that makes no sense is even if i comment out the mrtg cronjob, those errors continue to appear every 5 minutes.
bizarre.
do you have any individual crontabs configured? (look in /var/spool/cron/ to see, usually)
something appended into /etc/crontab that shouldn't be?
