cron for DEBIAN
----------------------

This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged and heavily modified version
of Paul Vixie's cron subsystem.

Debian's cron development is being done on Alioth:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-cron/cron.git

This package was put together by Ian Jackson <iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk>,
from the standard sources to 3.0pl1, as posted to comp.sources.unix.
Ian obtained them from
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume27/vixie-cron.

Debian's cron version introduces a significant number of changes:
    * Support for /etc/cron.d   (drop-in dir for package crontabs)
    * Debian-specific file locations and commands
    * PAM support
    * SELinux support
    * auditlog support
    * DST and other time-related changes/fixes
    * SGID crontab(1) instead of SUID root
    * numerous other smaller features and fixes.

Users are STRONGLY advised to carefully check the man pages crontab(1)
and crontab(5). System administrators should also read cron(8).

File locations that are different than that indicated in 
the cron distributions README:

user crontabs: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*
log file:      Check your syslog settings, facility "cron"
allow file:    /etc/cron.allow
deny file:     /etc/cron.deny

This package is now maintained by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña
<jfs@debian.org> and Christian Kastner <ckk@debian.org>

Historical note: The old subversion repository from before the
migration to git can be found here:
