Some users reported an errror that SMF couldn't find auditconfig despite
the fact that the PATH is set correctly. Invoking with the full path
seems to fix the issue.
This fixes an issue @njones11 was having with
multiple cron.present states.
"crontab -l <username>" would fail, so the temp file
would be empty, a given cronjob would go in
and then the "su - <username> crontab <temp file>" would
succeed.
This evaded debugging attempts because if you invoked the salt
minion manually from a login shell, an audit context would
already exist and the "crontab -l <username>" would succeed.
The hint was a message in the debug log of:
[ERROR ] Command 'crontab -l legion' failed with return code: 1
[ERROR ] stderr: crontab: The audit context for your shell has not
been set.
We explicitly set up an audit context when launching the salt minion
which allows "crontab -l <username>" to succeed.
This may fix other issues and something similar
should perhaps be applied to pkg/smartos/salt-minion.xml
"5417" was chosen arbitrarily
We ran into some weird issues with these SMF manifests
with certain critical binaries not being found in the PATH.
This PATH is derived from root's default PATH when logging
in to a SmartOS zone.
