Public bug reported:
The at.allow man page says,
> If /etc/at.allow does not exist, /etc/at.deny is checked, every
username not mentioned in it is then allowed to use at.
/etc/at.allow does not exist, and my username is not listed in at.deny
$ ls -l /etc/at.*
-rw-r----- 1 root bin 144 May 16 2011 /etc/at.deny
$ sudo grep mcguire /etc/at.deny
$
However, at is reporting that I do not have permission:
$ at teatime tomorrow
You do not have permission to use at.
If I add /etc/at.allow with my username in it, I get a permission denied
error creating the job file:
$ ls -l /etc/at.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 May 22 12:33 /etc/at.allow
-rw-r----- 1 root bin 144 May 16 2011 /etc/at.deny
$ sudo grep mcguire /etc/at.*
/etc/at.allow:mcguire
$ at teatime tomorrow
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
Cannot create atjob file /var/spool/cron/atjobs/a00007017452ec: Permission
denied
This is with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
The package is at 3.1.18-2ubuntu1 (Launchpad does not allow me to enter
'at' as a package search.)
