I've uninstalled nano because I want to (and so far have been fairly successful in) getting used to vim. I pull up nano by habit every so often, and still do even after a few years of vim. Anyways, vim aside, fcron hasn't been touched since I reinstalled my system a few months ago, and since then I uninstalled nano. Updating fcron to fix another bug for cron.{daily,hourly,etc} directories, now without nano installed, produces this odd change in my configuration. I did check fcrontab, and it still runs fine. My $EDITOR variable is properly automagically set by Gentoo. --- /etc/pam.d/fcrontab 2011-05-27 13:57:02.208162000 -0400 +++ /etc/pam.d/._cfg0000_fcrontab 2011-06-18 17:34:51.187414832 -0400 @@ -4,6 +4,6 @@ # Still use the system-auth stack for account and session as the # sysadmin might have set up stuff properly, and also avoids -# sidestepping limits (since fcrontab will run /bin/nano). +# sidestepping limits (since fcrontab will run ). account include system-auth session include system-auth Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (Guessing:) 1.

I've changed the text now so it shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!
