Crons
charge of two HP 9000's (K-260), and K-200). I know how to set up crons to
display date, time, to do backups and so forth. I am trying to run a cron for a
specific user and on my system it says that my security could be breached if
crons were allowed to be run under the users profile. I have already tried
builing restricted SAM for the user and that didnt work. Can this be done? I
mean is it possible? If you have any thoughts or ideas please e-mail me.
THX!!!!!!

Re: Crons
as the user set up a script that you 'su - {username} -c {script name}'. This
will allow you to control the use of cron but to allow the files to run as
other users.
You may also want to look into using the 'at' command.
Hope this helps

Re: Crons
entries in /var/adm/cron/cron.allow. You can also restrict users with entries
in /var/adm/cron/cron.deny.

Re: Crons
the users profile. One thing you could do is use root's crontab and setup the
job to su to the user and execute whatever needs to be executed and then exit
the shell. Hope this helps you...

Re: Crons
Personally, I wouldn't let a user run a cron job other than under their own
uid. Security hacks can involve set uid
where user hijacks a higher uid (e.g. root)
I may offer to run a cron job for them and output the result to their user
account, after carefully looking at their script to see if it compromises
security.
You don't want to run a job and find out their script listed
out valuable tables !!
Take a look at ACL (Access Control Lists), they may help.
If you're talking database tables then I'm lost.
Difficult to offer a general solution ...... good luck.

Re: Crons
Maybe give us a bit more detail (that is if your problem still
exists): what does this guy/user want to execute from cron?
Isn't it perhaps a command restricted for use by root?

Re: Crons
TextEditor or vi
Then login as that person (or root) and setup the cronjob.
