I noticed a bug in the latest glibc update for RHEL 9.5 that causes core dumps for certain commands executed through userhelper, including cron jobs. For example, running `subscription-manager config --list` didn't work and failed silently with a non-zero exit code. Downgrading to the earlier version of glibc has fixed it for us, but I know there might be other workarounds. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I’ve been dealing with the same glibc issue. This update really messed with my cron jobs, but downgrading fixed it. I hear using a systemd timer is a good alternative to cron if you're looking for other ways to schedule tasks.
Definitely! I’ve started using it too and it feels more reliable.
Ugh, I feel you! Red Hat’s knowledge base behind a login is so frustrating. I had no problem accessing the link without logging in, though—maybe it's just a glitch?
I agree! If they want us to trust their resources, they shouldn't make it so hard to access them.
Right? I could see the link just fine too. Strange if others can't.
That's a solid suggestion! I might give systemd timers a try.
