I would guess that you crontab binary is not guid: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
alan@nazgul /var/spool $ ls -al `which crontab` |
| 13 |
-rwxr-s--x 1 root crontab 30180 2007-11-02 12:59 /usr/bin/crontab* |
| 14 |
|

The various permissions you list for files and dirs are correct - they |
| 16 |
match my system which works correctly. |
