+Subject: [PATCH] Disable hard link check by default
+
+Without the "-p" flag, cronie does several checks on the
+crontab files. Those checks prevent crontrab files from being
+editable by unauthorized users.
+One of those checks won't permit loading file that is
+hard link count greater than 1.
+
+When OSTree manages crontab file, it uses hard links.
+All those user checks are irrelevant in the case embedded system, so
+disable them by default.
