The file /etc/pam.d/password-auth does not exist on both 11.1 and 11.2. Furthermore, "grep -r password-auth /etc/pam.d/" does not give any hit for me. Do you have any line like "...include...password-auth" in your /etc/pam.d/crond?

Using a fresh 11.2 installation, crontab works. Besides "crontab" alone is not a valid command, there must be some option.
SYNOPSIS crontab [-u user] file crontab [-u user] [-l | -r | -e] [-i] [-s]
the 2nd line looks like all options are optional -- i.e., 'crontab' alone is fine.
No, it is not. This is the output on my system: bombadillo:~ # crontab crontab: usage error: file name must be specified for replace usage: crontab [-u user] file crontab [-u user] [ -e | -l | -r ] (default operation is replace, per 1003.2) -e (edit user's crontab) -l (list user's crontab) -r (delete user's crontab) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
