Hi my linux kernel is 2.2.20 i am trying to edit/list crontab [i also tried crontab -e -u root] but i am getting this err msg: You (root) are not allowed to use this program (crontab) See crontab(1) for more information i checked /etc/cron.allow root and my other users are listed [fyi i am able to edit/list crontab with my other users] there is no cron.deny file i checked /var/spool/cron and root is listed there. i can do a more root to see my crontab entries. i checked the crontab file under /usr/bin , nobody has tampered with the permissions or setuid bit. what else can cause this err msg to come ? can anybody help me please thx Abhijit -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
