- * 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.
