I opened my mail, and I had 730 new e-mails there! Whaat!

One of my Azure boxes has (for reason unknown to me), following crontab-entry on root's crontab:

* * * * * [ \( ! -f /etc/opt/omi/creds/omi.keytab \) -o \( /etc/krb5.keytab -nt /etc/opt/omi/creds/omi.keytab \) ] && /opt/omi/bin/support/ktstrip /etc/krb5.keytab /etc/opt/omi/creds/omi.keytab

/opt/omi/bin/support/ktstrip keeps failing, because /etc/krb5.keytab is missing. And that command is run every single minute on my machine. So, every single minute I get a new information about the failure. Nice!

The sequence of events is totally unclear to me. I haven't touched anything, but this morning an influx of e-mails stated pouring in.

OMI, or Open Management Infrastructure is something Linux-images in Azure have, so it shouldn't be anything dangerous.

The obvious fix as to remove that stupid line.

Did you ever find out if removing this is horrible?

I have not experience any side-effects of removing the Microsoft-thing from running every minute.

Actually, if you can read this comment on my blog, it means, that the box in Azure hasn't crashed yet.
