Crontab Allow Problem

[chipper1]

We're migrating a crontab from UNIX to SUSE. I added our admin id in the /etc/cron.d/dron.allow Yet, we are still receive the "You (admin) are not allowed to use this program (crontab)" message. Is there some other permission that needs to be set? Thanks

I'm sure you mean cron.allow, but it doesn't go in cron.d in any variation I know about. Most distros, it goes in /etc, but in SUSE, I think it goes somewhere odd, like /var/spool/cron. Maybe there's a SUSE expert lurking who can clue us in.

/etc/cron.d usually has crontab formatted files, which crond executes.

as root, if /etc/cron.allow (ASCII file) doesn't exist, create it.
if I (as root) want judoman to have cron privileges:
echo judoman >> /etc/cron.allow

and just in case, if you have a /etc/cron.deny with judoman in it, remove the line with judoman.
