Hi All

I can not seem to be able to make these files work. Despite an
entry in cron.deny file, the specific user can use
the crontab command to submit a job to cron and the job
does gets executed.
Crontab command is supposed to check entries in these files.
Ido not think this is happening.

Any idea will be greatly appreciated.
Please send me an e-mail.

Thanks

Do you have a cron.deny AND a cron.allow? If so that is your problem,
these files are mutually exclusive and you can only use one or the
other, not both.

You should have EITHER and allow or deny file. Not both. Is that they way
you are running?
