several cron related test cases in LTP reveals that our current cron recipe is not complete: a) a complete cron hierarchy better have: /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly b) for a normal user to use crontab command: add a new group - crontab /usr/bin/crontab is setgid to root:crontab /var/spool/cron is owned by root:crontab below are optional, and thus not included in the default setup: /etc/cron.deny /etc/cron.allow cronie by default only allows root user to use crontab, if neither cron.deny nor cron.allow exists. They are controlled by final policy deployed on the product.
