New subject: [SLE] cannot create crontab in 7.3

28 Feb 2002

      Hmm.

New 7.3 system. I set the permissions to secure, if that has any bearing.
cron-3.0.1-406

Logged in as root I try to create a new crontab:

	# crontab -e

and get the following expected message before vi starts:

	no crontab for root - using an empty one

I create the following entry:

	30 8 * * * (tab) date

When I exit vi I get the following message

	crontab: no changes made to crontab

and a crontab -l shows nothing.

I've tried with the default deny, allow files and no deny, allow files.
Setting root crontab works fine on my other 7.3 system.

I'm stumped. Ideas?
