Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-105
Severity: normal
Hi.
1) When I add a /etc/cron.allow I get the following messages in syslog:
/usr/bin/crontab: (root) AUTH (crontab command not allowed)
2) And executing (as root) ... :
# crontab -l -u someuser_not_on_crontab
You (calestyo) are not allowed to use this program (crontab)
See crontab(1) for more information
...does not longer work.
2) seems to make some sense as crontab is setguid daemon and thus has
not root rights even when run as root. So is this behaviour desired?
But 1) is at least annoying,.. what's the reason for it? Is there a
cronjob that runs as non-root and is not in cron.allow that uses
crontab?
How can I trace this down?
Thanks,
Chris.
