1 The cron manpage says that /etc/crontab should have mode 0600.
2 However, it is installed with 0644.
3
4 A /etc/cron.deny is installed without any users in it which
5 means (according to crontab(1)) that all users are allowed
6 to work with crontab.
7 However, /usr/bin/crontab has mode 4710 which means that you
8 must be member of the group cron to be able to use crontabs.
9
10 Should I report a bug?
