by unavailable accounts, e.g., those locked, expired, not allowed in at
the moment by nologin(5), or whatever, depending on cron's pam.conf(5).
This applies to personal crontabs only, /etc/crontab is unaffected.
In other words, now the account management policy will apply to
commands scheduled by users via crontab(1) so that a user can no
longer use cron(8) to set up a delayed backdoor and run commands
during periods when the admin doesn't want him to.
The PAM check is done just before running a command, not when loading
a crontab, because accounts can get locked, expired, and re-enabled
any time with no changes to their crontabs. E.g., imagine that you
provide a system with payed access, or better a cluster of such
systems with centralized account management via PAM. When a user
pays for some days of access, you set his expire field respectively.
If the account expires before its owner pays more, its crontab
commands won't run until the next payment is made. Then it'll be
enough to set the expire field in future for the commands to run
again. And so on.
Document this change in the cron(8) manpage, which includes adding
a FILES section and touching the document date.

as crontab(5) states it can be. This is supported by all vixie-cron derived
implementations; not sure why FreeBSD was any different.

"crontab /etc/crontab", but not the same format due to the who field.
Add some limited anti-foot-shooting support and refuse to load
/etc/crontab as someone's crontab. Users wishing shoot their foot in
this manner may copy /etc/crontab elsewhere. :)

Note, that when cron(8) cannot create pidfile, it'll exit. I didn't
changed this behaviour, but its better to ignore errors other than
EEXIST, so daemon can be started on systems where /var/ file system
doesn't support locking (like NFS without rpc.lockd(8)).

entry having stepping value of zero can cause crontab to hang there,
and if the main crontab is being changed in this way, then cron(8)
will keep spining.

crontab: errors in crontab file, can't install
Do you want to retry the same edit? yes
[Exit the editor without any changes.]
crontab: no changes made to crontab

Now crontab will loop until the error is fixed, or the

Before starting a job, cron(8) will sleep a random number of seconds,
from 0 to the amount specified. This can help to smooth down load spikes
when a lot of jobs are to start at the beginning of a particular minute
(e.g., the first minute of an hour.)
