could you please attach whole /var/log/messages?
You really want the whole thing? This snippet is me adding the below test and it failing. Dec 15 16:04:07 ws5-72-fra crontab[677]: (rancid) BEGIN EDIT (rancid) Dec 15 16:04:18 ws5-72-fra crontab[677]: (rancid) REPLACE (rancid) Dec 15 16:04:18 ws5-72-fra crontab[677]: (rancid) END EDIT (rancid) Dec 15 16:05:01 ws5-72-fra /usr/sbin/cron[520]: (rancid) RELOAD (tabs/rancid) Dec 15 16:05:01 ws5-72-fra /usr/sbin/cron[686]: Permission denied Dec 15 16:06:01 ws5-72-fra /usr/sbin/cron[692]: Permission denied
do you have same issue also with e.g ? : */1 * * * * echo "test"
Yes, for the user rancid. Crontab for root and the user marty works fine.
just for sure attach also : ll /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run and ll /var/spool/cron/tabs/
# ll /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run -rwxr-xr-x 1 rancid netadm 5109 2009-12-07 09:31 /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run # ll /var/spool/cron/tabs/ total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root users 212 2009-11-19 17:03 marty -rw-r--r-- 1 root netadm 491 2009-11-26 08:40 rancid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 226 2009-12-15 16:02 root # cat /etc/cron.allow marty rancid -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
