You need to enter the username in

/var/adm/cron/cron.allow

old path may be

/usr/lib/cron/cron.allow
but it should be linked to the one above.

Hope this helps

Hi,

To allow a user to use the crontab function, you may need to add them to the cron.allow file. This file can be found in /var/spool/cron/cron.allow

Hi,

The cron.allow file is in /var/adm/cron. The diectory /usr/lib/cron is linked to this directory. Like the others said, add the user name in the cron.allow file. For users whom the cron jobs is not allowed are added in cron.deny file.

thanks
