So I checked mine using, and you were right in that the permissions |
| 22 |
were different. So then I tried to make them mirror yours using: |
| 23 |
sudo chmod u=rwx,g=rs,o=x /usr/bin/crontab |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But the permissions would up like so: |
| 26 |
-rwxr-S--x 1 root crontab 35120 Mar 6 17:16 crontab |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Now when trying "crontab -e", I get: |
| 29 |
-bash: /usr/bin/crontab: Permission denied |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I'm guessing I messed up in setting guid, since yours is lower-case |
| 32 |
's', and mine's showing upper? |
