I'm still struggling with a permission problem with fcrontab.
On (only) one of two identical (I believe so) machines,
fcrontab -e (as non-root user) gives
Could not change egid to fcron[449]: Operation not permitted
Could you post the output of `ls -ld /var/spool/fcron` for us, please?
drwsrws--- 2 fcron fcron 4096 2009-10-03 17:57 /var/spool/fcron
And that is the same as the other machine, right?
I know nothing about fcron, but I recall agonizing over the choice
of crons the first time I installed gentoo. I'm curious why you
picked fcron over the many alternative crons.
BTW, noticed the fcron ebuild says:
ewarn "fcron usage can now only be restricted by adding users"
ewarn "to the following files instead of to the group 'cron':"
ewarn
ewarn " ${ROOT}etc/fcron/fcron.allow"
ewarn " ${ROOT}etc/fcron/fcron.deny"
Are those files the same on both machines?
