Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-99
Followup-For: Bug #391350
Since I upgraded cron this morning, I have the same problem using cron
than Jari Aalto :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ crontab -e
crontabs/leirn: Permission non accordée
Strace gave me more information, which are similar to Jari's one :
stat64("/var/spool/cron", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
chdir("/var/spool/cron") = 0
stat64("crontabs", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISVTX|0730, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
....
open("crontabs/leirn", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
I confirm the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/leirn does exist and has ths
right permission for user leirn to access it :
beast:/var/spool/cron/crontabs# ll
total 12K
-rw------- 1 leirn crontab 278 2006-01-30 13:14 leirn
crontab seems to be able to acces libnss and /etc/password :
open("/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3
I hope this will help.
