When I try to run cron jobs from root, I am getting the following error. I am using RHEL5. Can anyone help me?
[root@localhost]# crontab -e Permission denied You (root) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam configuration.
The contents of /etc/pam.d/crond is given below
# # The PAM configuration file for the cron daemon # # auth sufficient pam_env.so auth required pam_rootok.so auth include system-auth account required pam_access.so account include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session include system-auth
passwd
solved my problem (it probably updated some permissions related settings).
