You might have this also if you manually edited the root cron file in /var/spool/cron as redhat systems will create a backup file named root~ and this will be executed as a job, but since there is no user named root~ it is considered an orphan. You can easily find these with this command in console or SSH: grep ORPHAN /var/log/cron

By default cron will mail any output from the command to the user it is running the command as. If there is no output there will be no mail. If you want cron to send mail to a different account then you can set the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab file e.g. MAILTO=user@somehost.tld 1 2 * * * /path/to/your/command Capture the output In menu -> setup -> network -> utilities -> samba After the (couch) update to 5.3.18 I found that samba was stopped and autostart was disabled. I can manually start and stop samba and when running I can see the box/HDD over the network on my Windows 10 laptop which indicates taht samba is actually working. Description of problem: Crond is started before sssd, so there are no remote users defined yet. Crond, as always, checks for crontab files in /var/spool/cron, but ignores files of non-existent users: i.e.: all non-local users. These files are not considered again when remote users become available. Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2012 21:59 Post subject: (crontabs) ORPHAN (no passwd entry) -- don't add user! Don't add a crontabs user. That will only confuse Vixie Cron into trying to read the directory /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ as if it were a crontab file (though probably nothing will happen).
