Error description
In an LDAP-configured environment, cron relies on the setpcred() library function. The cron daemon can fail upon error from setpcred(). The error message generated is sent in an email from cron and looks like this: Subject: Cron Job Failure : (OMITTED) Output from from cron as follows: Cron: Cannot set the process credentials for user \ <login-id>
Local fix

Cron can fail in an LDAP configured Environment. This problem occurs only when LDAP client cache is enabled and its about to expired. Also more than one operation is executed by the LDAP client daemon with multiple threads. This occurs on a race condition.
Problem conclusion
LDAP client cache is properly handled for getuserattr operation.
Temporary fix
