Hi. I am trying to update a normal user's crontab for the first time
using vixie-cron. I have the user, ben, listed in /etc/cron.allow and
made a crontab called cronjobs in his home directory. When I try to
execute 'crontab cronjobs' I get a "/usr/bin/crontab permission
denied" error. I even tried changing the permissions for
/usr/bin/crontab to 555, but then it just returns a setuid error.
Also, in an attempt to fix this problem, I unmerged vixie-cron and
emerged dcron, to no avail. After I unmerged dcron and remerged
vixie-cron, now each time env-update is run these two errors come up:
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'dcron' already provide 'cron'!;
* Not adding service 'vixie-cron'...
Apparently the system still thinks dcron is installed and providing
cron functionality. Does anyone know how to tell the system that
dcron is no longer installed?
Thanks a lot.
