- I've done it successfuly, but I'm using wnews. I guess your problem
- are wrong permissions. The directorys /usr/spool/cron and
- /usr/spool/cron/crontabs must be owned by root, permission must
- be 755.
- The permission of the files for every user in crontabs must be
- 644 and the owner and group must be set apropriate.
- Here is an ls -la from my /usr/spool/cron/crontabs:
-
- drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Sat Aug 8 03:59 .
- drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 48 Thu Jul 16 06:43 ..
