I would guess that you crontab binary is not guid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/spool $ ls -al `which crontab` -rwxr-s--x 1 root crontab 30180 2007-11-02 12:59 /usr/bin/crontab* The various permissions you list for files and dirs are correct - they match my system which works correctly. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
