Hiya folks,
i got some strange behaviour here: when i invoke fetchnews (from leafnode) directly on the command line (no matter if as user "news", as root or as unprivileged user by means of sudo), everything works just fine, connection ist logged to /var/log/news.log and new news are pulled from my upstream server.
BUT: if exactly the same command is run from crond, then there are no additional lines in the logfile nor are any articles pulled from upstream. Even though, a new line appears in /var/log/crond stating that cron did in fact as it should.
I myself have no idea what's going on there, any ideas?
Florian
