I suppose adding my user 'jon' to the 'trusted' group might work, but I also kind of think it might be ...well not "The Right Thing" to do?
Sure it is, that's what that group is there for.
Hmmm... yeah, it does work, so that's all good. FTR: Go to YaST -> Security/Users -> Edit/create users -> Edit -> Details -> Additional Group membership. Mark the group, exit YaST, saving the setting... Log out, log back in, and now I can list, edit, a.s.o crontab... Kewl! So that's all fine :) The reason for my expressed uncertainty about adding myself to the group is that 'just add the user to the group' is not always The Right Thing: As in sometimes threads about CD/HDD access and files in /dev/ being owned by root:disk (or whatever) in which case adding the user to group 'disk' is NOT the way to go... Ho hum... Thanks anyway... I'm happy :) Jon Clausen
