what is going on?
should the user be something other that systab
Possibly should be fcron. We create that user earlier on the page,
but maybe it should be root's file. For instance, we install
update-pki.sh from make-ca in cron.weekly. That should be run by root.
No, we don't create a "systab" user, that's a built-in. From the manpage:
*|
-u|/user/*
Specify the user whosefcrontabwill be managed, or "systab" for the
system fcrontab. Should onlybe used by root. If not given, thefcrontab
file of the user invokingfcrontabwill be handled. It may be useful
since thesu(8) command may confusefcrontab.
If that command is not working, then something broke. In the event that
you are using pkgusers or something similar, these will need to be
overridden. The /usr/sbin/fcron file should be root:root 0110,
/usr/bin/fcrontab and /usr/bin/fcrondyn should be fcron:fcron 6111, and
/usr/bin/fcronsighup should be root:fcron 4110. Also, has the var
directory been moved or symlinked for some reason? if so, the target
/var/cache/fcron should have fcron:fcron 0770. If not using pkgusers, I
have no idea with only that output, something arm specific maybe.
Failing those, I'd suggest maybe reinstalling it if you haven't already.
