b75634d238 Add -m option to cron(8), overriding default mail recipient for cron mails,
unless explicitly provided by MAILTO= line in crontab.  This feature can be
useful in massive hosting environment, where most users do not care about
autogenerated mails.

Setting recipient to null string disables default mails at all.

997c6eefd8 Add PAM support to cron(8). Now cron(8) will skip commands scheduled
by unavailable accounts, e.g., those locked, expired, not allowed in at
the moment by nologin(5), or whatever, depending on cron's pam.conf(5).
This applies to personal crontabs only, /etc/crontab is unaffected.

In other words, now the account management policy will apply to
commands scheduled by users via crontab(1) so that a user can no
longer use cron(8) to set up a delayed backdoor and run commands
during periods when the admin doesn't want him to.

The PAM check is done just before running a command, not when loading
a crontab, because accounts can get locked, expired, and re-enabled
any time with no changes to their crontabs.  E.g., imagine that you
provide a system with payed access, or better a cluster of such
systems with centralized account management via PAM.  When a user
pays for some days of access, you set his expire field respectively.
If the account expires before its owner pays more, its crontab
commands won't run until the next payment is made.  Then it'll be
enough to set the expire field in future for the commands to run
again.  And so on.

Document this change in the cron(8) manpage, which includes adding
a FILES section and touching the document date.

X-Security: should benefit as users have access to cron(8) by default

2ba44ac557 Fix a bug where HOME was not allowed to be overridden by an user's crontab
as crontab(5) states it can be.  This is supported by all vixie-cron derived

9896de5a67 /etc/crontab is similar enough to parse as correct if you run
"crontab /etc/crontab", but not the same format due to the who field.
Add some limited anti-foot-shooting support and refuse to load
/etc/crontab as someone's crontab.  Users wishing shoot their foot in
this manner may copy /etc/crontab elsewhere. :)

78735592f5 Use pidfile(3) in cron(8).
Note, that when cron(8) cannot create pidfile, it'll exit. I didn't
changed this behaviour, but its better to ignore errors other than
EEXIST, so daemon can be started on systems where /var/ file system
doesn't support locking (like NFS without rpc.lockd(8)).

d159401da0 Fix parsing of '0' and non-alphanumerics in steps. Previously, an
entry having stepping value of zero can cause crontab to hang there,
and if the main crontab is being changed in this way, then cron(8)
will keep spining.

08e019a888 Fix for the following behavior:
$ crontab -e
[Add an entry with an error in the crontab file.]
crontab: errors in crontab file, can't install
Do you want to retry the same edit? yes
[Exit the editor without any changes.]
crontab: no changes made to crontab
[Entry is lost.]

Now crontab will loop until the error is fixed, or the
user answers no.

f5896baf9c Add two new options to cron(8), -J and -j. They allow to specify
the maximum amount of time jitter for root and other users, respectively.
Before starting a job, cron(8) will sleep a random number of seconds,
from 0 to the amount specified.  This can help to smooth down load spikes
when a lot of jobs are to start at the beginning of a particular minute
(e.g., the first minute of an hour.)
