I recently upgraded FreeBSD to 12.2. Everything seems fine except for some odd permission thing when running from cron. For example I have a script that dumps my clients' MySQL databases which gives me this email every morning: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'darcy'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Yet when I run the same command from the command line it works fine. I get a similar problem on another server with my PostgreSQL database under another user but when I switch that cron job to my user it does work. I suspect something related to effective vs. real UIDs and identd but nothing changed in the setup after the upgrade. Any ideas for what to look for? Cheers. -- D'Arcy J.M.
