need crony tab access for chongo and paulnoll

[chongo]

Hello,

The basic web hosting users, chongo & paulnoll, need to setup cron jobs to do things like sync files with another server. However when we try to setup a cron job, we get the following error:

$ crontab filename
cannot chdir(c), bailing out.
/var/cron: Permission denied

because:

$ ls -ld /var/cron
drwx--x--- 3 root crontab 4096 Dec 6 2005 /var/cron

Please add user's chongo and paulnoll to the crontab group (or whatever you
need to do to enable cron use) so we can setup cron jobs.

Thanks!

Of course .. that subject should have been:

need crontab access for chongo and paulnoll

thanks to the auto correct for that title typo!

have you tried "crontab -e"?

[chongo]

Well crontab -e exited the same way before ..
.. now it works.

Thanks!
