Changelog

* Wed Jan 18 18:00:00 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias{%}redhat{*}com> - 4.1-10.EL3
- prevent per-minute jobs delayed by NSS lookup clashing with next run
- silence pam_unix log messages
* Mon Jul 11 19:00:00 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias{%}redhat{*}com> - 4.1-8.EL3
- fix bug 162887: allow multiple /etc/cron.d crontabs for *system* user
- further fix for bug 154920 / CAN-2005-1038 ( crontab -e ):
     invoke editor and copy operation as non-root user
* Thu Apr 14 19:00:00 2005 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias{%}redhat{*}com> - 4.1.6_EL3
- fix bug 154922 / CAN-2005-1038: check that new crontab is 
      regular file after editor session ends.
- fix bug 154575: use PATH_MAX (4096) as max filename length; also make 
      limits on command line and env.var. lengths sensible (131072).
- do pam_close_session and pam_setcred(pamh, PAM_DELETE_CRED)
      if fork fails. If pam_setcred should fail, the pam_session could 
      fail to be closed, leaving autofs user directories still mounted.
      (found during IBM security certification testing)
- fix bug 154065: crontab's job control broken: by 
          xpid = waitpid(pid,&waiter,WUNTRACED);... 
          if( WIFSTOPPED(waiter) )... kill(getpid(),WSTOPSIG(waiter));
      crontab should not kill itself with SIGSTOP if its child
      gets SIGSTOP; hence it does not need the waitpid WUNTRACED flag.
