("osamu" is for my case on my system.) You not, but crontab can: $ ls -la /usr/bin/crontab - -rwxr-sr-x 1 root crontab 34048 sept. 18 17:21 /usr/bin/crontab That's the reason why it's setgid crontab actually, to prevent the user to edit directly /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user>, and force him to use the “crontab -e” command, as explained in the FILES section of crontab(5).
