Hi all
I've posted reports about this twice now, but vger seems to be acting strangely and I've not received them back, so I'd better try again ...
On Thursday evening I upgraded one of my machines from 2.0.0 to 2.0.24 because I thought that might fix some TCP problems I was seeing.
That machine happens to run xntpd. Since the upgrade, cron has been acting strangely, apparently running jobs as many as five times in parallel - or almost in parallel. One of the unfortunate side effects has been the loss of most of my log files as the aging algorithms were never designed to be reentrant :-(
I've pursued a number of false leads - with no effect. Currently I have xntpd disabled, and one of the minor observable symptoms (a monitoring shell script that was printing false warnings about named having died) has gone away.
xntpd was version 3.5f - current as far as I can tell. Have I missed any cron related required upgrades, perhaps ?
