And that is the same as the other machine, right? |

I know nothing about fcron, but I recall agonizing over the choice |
| 19 |
of crons the first time I installed gentoo. I'm curious why you |
| 20 |
picked fcron over the many alternative crons. |

BTW, noticed the fcron ebuild says: |
| 23 |
ewarn "fcron usage can now only be restricted by adding users" |
| 24 |
ewarn "to the following files instead of to the group 'cron':" |
| 25 |
ewarn |
| 26 |
ewarn " ${ROOT}etc/fcron/fcron.allow" |
| 27 |
ewarn " ${ROOT}etc/fcron/fcron.deny" |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Are those files the same on both machines? |
