I have 3 boxen converted from potato to woody. On one box (the potato
converted from slink box), atd would not start. I never filed a bug
report but did ask about it on this list, with no results.
Joey's question reminded me of the problem and I just found the cause. In
the slink/potato/woody box the /var/spool/cron/ permissions were 700
on the 2 boxes that had Potato installed from potato CD's the
permission of /var/spool/cron/ were 755. All work fine now.
That one problem, probably caused by the slink->potato upgrade was the
only problem encountered when I went from potato to woody. I used
Bunks listings and apt-get dist-upgrade(d) with no problems to speak
of.
