            Bug ID: 235792
           Summary: cron(8) does not respect login.conf environment vars
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: andrew at tao11.riddles.org.uk

cron source code says:

/* Set user's entire context, but skip the environment
 * as cron provides a separate interface for this

The fact that environment variables can be set in the crontab doesn't justify
ignoring login.conf; it just introduces usability obstacles by requiring
duplicate settings everywhere. cron should respect all parts of the user's
login class, not pick and choose.
