---------- Question ----------
End-users are not able to create/add cron jobs. The error message is:

    myserver# crontab -e
    cron/secure: Permission denied

 

---------- Question ----------
Check permissions on /usr/bin/crontab Make sure the SUID bit is set.

    -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 313052 Sep 8 2006 /usr/bin/crontab*

 

If this isn't set, run the command below to set it

    chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab
