Public bug reported:
It's impossible for me to list or update crontabs, neither as normal
user, nor as root:
User:
% bcrontab -l
bcrontab: Fatal: Configuration error: must be run from unixserver
root:
# bcrontab -l
bcrontab: Fatal: Configuration error: must be run from unixserver
Related processes seem to run:
