Fedora directory users - Jun 2009 - [389-users] cron no longer works after password expiration

Hi all,

I set up password policy on my FDS box and things were humming along just fine
until people''s passwords expired (100 days).  Users can still log in to
our linux boxen as normal (though we were seeing Invalid Credentials log
entries). I disabled password policy, however now cron jobs no longer work. I
tried setting something up like so:

* * * * * /bin/date >> /var/tmp/test.txt

But nothing gets logged. There''s no even an entry in the cron logfile.
This appears to be LDAP related since local user crons still work. I''ve
looked in the /var/log/messages and /var/log/cron, but it''s as if my
boxes just stopped recognizing user crons altogether.

Any ides on the right direction to look?

Thanks,

    -Aaron
