Problem Description
|
|
When I use edge.cronset to place an entry into root's crontab file,
I get the following error message:
User root not authorized to use cron. Sorry.
|
|
Cause
|
|
The root user doesn't have adequate cron privileges.
|
|
Solution
|
|
Check in the /usr/lib/cron directory for a file called cron.allow
or cron.deny. If the file cron.allow exists, only the users listed
in this file have cron privileges. Make sure there is an entry
for root in this file. If the file cron.deny exists, everyone
except the users listed in this file has cron privileges, so
make sure there isn't an entry for 'root' here.
