src/etc/syslog.conf, branch release/2.0_cvs FreeBSD source tree This is Vixie cron 3.0. This version fixes all known security bugs. 1994-01-22T20:44:14+00:00 Guido van Rooij guido@FreeBSD.org 1994-01-22T20:44:14+00:00 3b15f669f794cc1a5ce8ee796832594c585370af Further it implements crontab -e. I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD. NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING: 1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron *EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in /etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's BSD/386 as far as I know (they provided the patches for it anyway) 2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy in /etc from /usr/src/etc. 'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab. 3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab. The default logfile file is the same as before: syslog.conf:cron.* /var/cron/log -Guido

I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are
that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond
used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as
Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD.

NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING:

1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron
   *EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in
   /etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify
   usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's

2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy
   in /etc from /usr/src/etc.
   'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron
   will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab.
3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note
   that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself
   and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab.
   The default logfile file is the same as before:
