Cron, Solaris 8, Kerberos

[Derek Yarnell]

I have been getting these messages in my debug,

Apr 29 14:00:00 stupid cron[4417]: [ID 833576 user.debug] pam_setcred: 
error Can not retrieve user credentials

I noticed from a Google Groups thread from this news group back
in 2001 that the same question was asked. However no answer was
given so I am posting the question.

Why is pam getting called in cron? /var/cron/log does not give
any useful information.

my pam.conf looks like this,

login   auth sufficient /usr/lib/security/krb5/pam_krb5.so.1
login   auth required   /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1 try_first_pass
rlogin  auth sufficient /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1

Anyone had the same problem?
