crontab

[Paul Bertino]

I have deleted the cron.allow. Tried the test user test01, no luck. Thanks

can you check if that user exists with /etc/passwd file

cat /etc/passwd|grep
and also check if there are any duplicate UID in the file.

Also try,

creating a crontab file for the user and try
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ with the file owner as test01.

which are your cron.allow and cron.deny files located?

[Paul Bertino]

Well, the real cron.allow stand up. There are two locations on our system,
/var/spool/cron
and
/var/adm/cron = this is the correct one!

Sorry for the confusion and thanks to all of you for your help! It does work now!

Thanks. I have the answer and it is working.
