Hi,

I'm still struggling with a permission problem with fcrontab.
On (only) one of two identical (I believe so) machines,
fcrontab -e (as non-root user) gives
Could not change egid to fcron[449]: Operation not permitted

Since the fcrontab binary and all used dynamic libs are identical
and the permissions on /var/spool/fron (/**/*) are
identical on both machines,
I tried strace.

But how to apply strace to an SUID/SGID application.
When I say

strace fcrontab -e 
it fails with the very same error now even on the machine where it works
without strace.

I'd be glad if someone could throw some light on this
strange situation.

Many thanks,
Helmut.
