Bug Description
Binary package hint: fcron
Ubuntu 9.10
fcron 3.0.1
Fcrondyn asks for root's password, therefore it doesn't work with ubuntu without setting a password for root.
Fcron could be very useful to solve the wakeup-
Fcrondyn is able to report next job time and date, for a specific user or system-wide. It could be very easy to use this time with nvram-wakeup, just by creating a fcrontab for root using an @reboot item. Up to now, it doesn't seem to be possible using fcrondyn in a script.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
