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. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
