[RESOLVED] Re: [opensuse] PAM prevents root access to crontab ?

Hi,

Finally stumbled across this:

http://en.opensuse.org/Cron_replace

Replaced 11.2's cron with:

zypper in cronie

so now,

rpm -qa | grep -i cronie
cronie-1.4.3-213.1.x86_64

Now,

'crontab -e'

works as expected. As a test, switch back to 'cron' reproduces the
problem as in my OP.

Afaict, the switch to cronie has not yet been mandated, but I'm
guessing 'something' on my systems already has a requirement for it.
