If he does not have /etc/cron.allow nor /etc/cron.deny, he will be denied cron use as a user. The man page says: If the cron.allow file exists, then you must be listed there in in order to be allowed to use this command. If the cron.allow file does not exist but the cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the cron.deny file in order to use this command. If neither of these files exists, only the super user will be allowed to use this command. And sure enough, I have an /etc/cron.deny: guest gast - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
