## Description

This module manages the cron packages, service, and /etc/cron.allow.

### This is a SIMP module

This module is a component of the [System Integrity Management Platform](https://simp-project.com),

a compliance-management framework built on Puppet.

If you find any issues, they can be submitted to our [JIRA](https://simp-project.atlassian.net/).

This module is optimally designed for use within a larger SIMP ecosystem, but it can be used independently:

 * When included within the SIMP ecosystem, security compliance settings will be managed from the Puppet server.

## Setup

### What cron affects

  * crond service

  * `/etc/cron.deny`

  * `/etc/cron.allow`

  * tmpwatch package (if EL6)

## Usage

To use this module, just call the class. This example adds it to a class list in hiera:

```yaml

---

classes:

  - cron

```

Users can also be added to `/etc/cron.allow` with the `cron::user` defined type, or

the `cron::users` array in hiera. The following example adds a few users to `/etc/cron.allow`:

```yaml

cron::users:

  - foo

  - bar

```

## Reference

See [REFERENCE.md](./REFERENCE.md) for details.

## Limitations

SIMP Puppet modules are generally intended for use on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

and compatible distributions, such as CentOS. Please see the [`metadata.json` file](./metadata.json)

for the most up-to-date list of supported operating systems, Puppet versions,

and module dependencies.

## Development

Please read our [Contribution Guide] (https://simp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contributors_guide/index.html).
