CentOS-6.2
We moved a cron job from a CentOS-5.7 host to a CentOS-6.2 host. The MAILTO variable is set to support@harte-lyne.ca in both instances. On the CentOS-6 host instead of receiving the mail with the output we see this in /var/log/cron instead:
Mar 12 14:49:01 inet09 CROND[6639]: (cron theheart) UNSAFE (support@harte-lyne.ca )
Check which non-printable character you have there in the MAILTO line (probably after the mail address). Use od or hexdump to see which illegal (from cron's point of view) character(s) you have in there.
The CentOS-5 host uses Sendmail as the MTA, the CentOS-6 uses Postfix. We can send mail to support@harte-lyne.ca from the command line on both hosts.
The permissions of the files in /var/spool/cron are: # ll /var/spool/cron total 12 -rw-------. 1 root root 34 Mar 9 16:41 root -rw-------. 1 root root 4245 Mar 12 14:53 theheart
Care for usership by user theheart for his own cronjob?
Selinux is set to Permissive (for the time being):
# sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: permissive Mode from config file: permissive Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted
What is causing cron to complain. What is unsafe and how do I rectify this?
