I haven't tried this on gentoo, but in general, and on other linux distros:
from crontab(1):
If the cron.allow file exists, then you must be listed therein in
order
to be allowed to use this command. If the cron.allow file
does not
exist but the cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be
listed in
the cron.deny file in order to use this command. If neither of
these
files exists, only the super user will be allowed to use this
command.
Let me know if gentoo adheres to that also.

Hello!
I have several local users on my machine that are members of the cron
group. Vixie-Cron runs as my cron agent. It is running. However,
when I setup jobs to run in the users crontab, they are NEVER
executed. Not once, not ever! It seems that the ONLY jobs that run
are via /etc/cron*
Am I missing something?
