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!

chongo () /\oo/\

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"?

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

Thanks!
