1 Hi,
2
3 after upgrading to sys-process/at-3.1.10.1
4 I cannot use at (batch) anymore.
5 I always get
6 Cannot create atjob file /var/spool/at/atjobs/b000010134cba5: Permission denied
7
8 But I don't understand this, since
9
10 ls -l /usr/bin/at
11 -rwsr-s--x 1 at at 42688 Jun 23 17:13 /usr/bin/at
12
13 shows that the SUID/SGID bits are on, so
14 unless at drops priviledges it should run as user 'at'
15
16 and
17
18 ls -ld gives
19 drwx------ 2 at at 4096 Apr 15 16:16 /var/spool/at/atjobs
20
21 (and all directories below have execute permission)
22
23 so, it should be writeable by user 'at'.
24
25 Many thanks for any hints,
26
