On edgy, this happens: $ crontab -e crontabs/robin: Permission denied /usr/bin/crontab permissions are: -rwxr-sr-x /var/spool/cron is drwx------ /var/spool/cron/crontabs is drwx------
I changed them to the following to match a Debian system to see if it helps: /var/spool/cron: drwxr-xr-x /var/spool/cron/crontabs: drwx-wx--T, owner root:crontab now it works. -- user crontabs don't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/45774 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
