1 Hi,
2
3 I've been using fcron for quite some time, but
4 now it behaves strange.
5 I have version 3.0.4-r2 installed.
6
7 Doing fcrontab -e as non-root user
8 I get
9 Could not change egid to fcron[449]: Operation not permitted
10
11 although I'm a member of group fcron.
12 Furthermore /etc/fcron/fcron.allow has 'all'
13
14 Even more strangely,
15 do - as root -
16 fcrontab -e USER
17
18 it lets me create a file but on closing I get
19
20 no fcrontab for jarausch - using an empty one
21 17:34:40 could not open file jarausch.orig.tmp: Permission denied
22 17:34:40 could not remove /tmp/fcr-z9FG5g: Operation not permitted
23
24 So, I'm puzzled.
25
26 Many thanks for some help,
27 Helmut.
