http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1037927 Bug ID: 1037927 Summary: No permission to run `crontab -e` as normal user Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: zhx@cnzhx.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed using snapshot 20170429 with DVD ISO image, finding a normal user in this system cannot run `crontab -e` to add cron job. With the help from Henk van Velden in the forum https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/524651-no-permission-to-run-cront..., outputs from several commands are here as reference. ``` $ crontab -e bash: /usr/bin/crontab: Permission denied ``` In `/usr/bin` directory, no package is owned by group `trusted`: ``` $ cd /usr/bin $ ls -l | grep trusted ``` And there is no group `trusted` in the system. ``` $ cut -d: -f1 /etc/group | grep trusted ``` gives nothing. Several packages that should be able to be read and executed by `other` are set to none to `other`, ``` $ ls -l | grep "\-rwsr\-x\-\-\-" -rwsr-x--- 1 root root 52336 Oct 16 2016 at -rwsr-x--- 1 root root 55944 Apr 7 13:02 crontab -rwsr-x--- 1 root root 31552 Oct 16 2016 fusermount ``` Permissions of other packages seem good, ``` $ ls -al /usr/bin/c[rs]* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1043 Aug 17 2016 /usr/bin/crc32 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4595 Sep 17 2016 /usr/bin/create-jar-links -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 114352 Apr 18 13:01 /usr/bin/crlutil -rwsr-x--- 1 root root 55944 Apr 7 13:02 /usr/bin/crontab lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 31 11:49 /usr/bin/csh -> /bin/tcsh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52200 Mar 22 02:46 /usr/bin/csplit ``` This system has been upgraded to snapshot 20170502, and the situations are the same. In order to be sure, I use the same ISO image (snapshot 20170429) to install openSUSE Tumbleweed in a VirtualBox machine, and the results are the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
