There i have changed the lines:session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uidsession optional pam_keyinit.so revokesession required pam_limits.sosession requires pam_winbind.so use_first_passsession required pam_unix.sobecause of when the succese part is placed after pam_unix.so the crond causes segfaults in /var/log/messages. But when it is configured as shown above, the pam errors occure...

(username) ERROR: failed to open PAM security session: Success CRON (username) ERROR: cannot set security context Then the most obvious step from here is to take a look at /etc/pam.d/crond and /var/log/secure (if you're running Redhat based Linux distro): # # The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon # # auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth required pam_env.so auth include system-auth account required pam_access.so account include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session include system-auth In case if /var/log/secure has similar lines check your /etc/security/access.conf and make sure that cron is allowed for everyone or at least for the user experiencing the problem: pam_access(crond:account): access denied for user `username’ from `cron’ Otherwise, a word "session" should give you a hint on a possible issue with system-auth section. Lets check it: cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet account required pam_permit.so password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so The most critical module here is pam_unix.so which retrieves account information from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Check them for the consistency because in my case /etc/shadow was a culprit missing a record for a username. Once it was fixed the errors had stopped popping up.
