Issue: crontab, ld.so.1 1

[pmcmicha]

I am on a SunOS5.8 and a crontab entry which was created for me comes up with the following error:


ld.so.1: crontab: fatal: relocation error: file crontab: symbol audit_crontab_not_allowed: referenced symbol not found
Killed


This happens with crontab -l, crontab -e, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? I am not aware of any other user with a crontab entry having this problem on this box.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a library issue to me!

What user are you root or normal user? you may have an environment issue and need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

As root type:> set <cr>
and see what is returned?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/X11/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

Good Luck,
Laurie

Laurie,

On the Sun boxes, I am only a normal user as these servers are controlled by another group.

As for my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it is set correctly and the ld.so.1 file matches the sum value on a duplicate server where I have a crontab that works.

No abnormal environmental settings are being set in the profile either. Short of requesting for the crontab to be removed and readded, any other thoughts?

Yes got it ..... its a bad patch from Sun and reqiures another patch to resolve it, see here:

Sorry,
Laurie.

Laurie,

Hey, no problem. You just saved me from having to wait for that group to research the issue and resolve it. At least now I can send them the solution which means a better turn around time for me. Thanks again.
