Hi , I am having a strange issue here on RHEL 6. I see there is /etc/cron.deny which is empty. There is no /etc/cron.allow. So far so good. This generally means that normal user should be able to do cron jobs scheduling. So I try with a normal user then system send below messages, crontab -e no crontab for tomato - using an empty one /tmp/crontab.XXXX9j9k6I: Permission denied I tried creating /etc/cron.allow with root and tomato on each line. That did not help. Removing /etc/cron.deny in this case also did not help. It looked like permission issue on /tmp I am wondering why /tmp perms got setup like this, See below, ls -ald /tmp drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Dec 21 11:03 /tmp FSTAB entry for /tmp is as below, cat /etc/fstab | grep /tmp /dev/mapper/VolGroup_ID_22337-LogVol2 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 Is this some security feature or it is the RHEL 6 way of doing security or is it because /tmp is a logical volume? What is the best way to resolve this? PS : If anyone has a link for RHEL 6 documentation please email me that. Appreciate your help!
