SUMMARY: ! bad user in /var/cron/log

Guys, 

Thanks a mill to Chris Pinnock, Victor Engle, William Enestvedt, Kalyan
Manchikant and Stan Pietkiewicz for their answers.

Thanks even more to James Scott and Peter Wallis, who hit the nail on the
head.

Basically, empty the 7th field of the /etc/shadow file (60, in my case)
which is the inactivity timeout.

Great, great list!

Sun Managers, 

On a V240 with Solaris 9, 

I've noticed the following in /var/cron/log

>  CMD: /apps/ldap/report.sh > /apps/ldap/Email_Accounts.out  ldap 13278 
> c Thu Aug 10 05:00:00 2006
! bad user (ldap) Thu Aug 10 05:00:00 2006
<  ldap 13278 c Thu Aug 10 05:00:00 2006 rc=1

Googling around, I've seen this mentioned with *LK* accounts, but this is
not my case.

Now, the password for the user ldap has been set before the issue appeared.
Same story for the aging disabled on said account.

$ grep passwd /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:     files
$ grep ldap /etc/shadow
ldap:qc123456EBCOI:13251::::60::
$ passwd -s ldap
ldap      PS
/$

Any idea what I've been hit by?

Loris
