Do you happen to be remote? What happens if you change the editor to e.g. joe, like; on the command line: export EDITOR=joe (I don't expect this to be solution as you've problems with crontab -l as well) Op donderdag 2 januari 2003 23:33, schreef Jonathan Nichols:
Greetings - I can't find this documented anywhere..grr..
Anyway, here's the issue. It's pretty self-explanatory.
[2:22pm] 43 [/etc]:mail2% crontab -l crontab: Permission denied. [2:22pm] 44 [/etc]:mail2% crontab -e crontab: Permission denied. [2:22pm] 45 [/etc]:mail2%
I used to be able to use crontab as a regular user.
I created both /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.d/allow as I'd do on a Solaris box and added my own username to the file, and kill -HUP'd cron.
Still can't get access to it. :-(
Any ideas?
