This should not be this difficult. I'm simply trying to disable the use
of cron for a user. I tried /etc/cron.deny, /usr/lib/cron/cron.deny but
none work. Finally I just chown root:root
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user> && chmod 000
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user> But that seems ugly to me.
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks,
Larry
