crontab access?

Greetings -
I can't find this documented anywhere..grr..

Anyway, here's the issue. It's pretty self-explanatory.

[2:22pm] 43 [/etc]:mail2% crontab -l
crontab: Permission denied.
[2:22pm] 44 [/etc]:mail2% crontab -e
crontab: Permission denied.
[2:22pm] 45 [/etc]:mail2%

I used to be able to use crontab as a regular user.

I created both /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.d/allow as I'd do on a
Solaris box and added my own username to the file, and kill -HUP'd cron.

Still can't get access to it. :-(

Any ideas?
