Thread: cron "permission denied" (After 10.04->12.04 u/g)


none of cronjobs run more (neither root nor users). /var/log/syslog shows:

code:
apr 30 09:22:01 goose cron[6206]: permission denied
but can't see else. (i "trivial" cron entries "* * * * * /bin/echo hello"). restarting cron doesn't help.

anacron jobs failing "unable set uid 0".

/var/spool/cron/crontabs//* ownership right <user>:crontab

(possibly related, several log files 0 sized, e.g., /var/log/messages [syslog:adm])

auth.log shows interesting. dunno means, though...

apr 30 09:21:01 goose cron[6206]: pam pam_parse: expecting non-zero; [...]
