Eh? Why would a cron daemon need to accept connections, what does that even
mean in the context of cron?

Hi Richard, thank you for your reply, I will look at these more closely as for
the moment I have not set a user specific cron, I am just using the root to run
these.
All I did was follow the tutorial, perhaps I have missed some points ;(
Cheers

Cron is sending out an email for jobs run as user root, but not for cron jobs run as my normal user? Yet the funny thing is, when cron runs jobs as normal user, it still actually sends the mail to root (see /etc/crontab). And on the command line, I see the same thing either way:

The cron manpage says that /etc/crontab should have mode 0600.
However, it is installed with 0644.
A /etc/cron.deny is installed without any users in it which
means (according to crontab(1)) that all users are allowed
to work with crontab.
However, /usr/bin/crontab has mode 4710 which means that y
