Thanks Paul. I will investigate your
advise.
-----Original Message----- This sounds like a permission problem. Do you
have a cron.allow and cron.deny file? This will say who can and can't
access the crontab. Secondly, the convention is to have a crontab file for
each user. /usr/spool/cron/crontabs should have a file for paul if user
paul wants to use the cron service. The crontab -e simply opens an editor
for the file assigned to that user. The other problem is that if you
have turned off su access from the user then that user can not set the uid to
root and therefore would no be able to access the crontab file.
