Go to the /etc/pam.d directory. Open the file common-session-noninteractive in an editor. Look for the following line:

Code: Select all

session required pam_unix.so

Above this line, add the following:

Code: Select all

session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in cron quiet use_uid

Save the file and exit. Restart crond using something like service cron restart or /etc/init.d/cron restart.
