Having /var/log/cron set to 600 will not affect user's cron jobs. Dillon cron's logging is either done through syslog or from the output of crond. On the other hand, I don't think logging is going to /var/log/cron by default. It just gets created upon start up. from the rc.d script that starts cron # Start crond (Dillon's crond): # If you want cron to actually log activity to /var/adm/cron, then change # -l10 to -l8 to increase the logging level. /usr/sbin/crond -l10 >>/var/adm/cron 2>&1 (note in slackware /var/adm is a link to /var/log) Hope this helps, Sam On Fri, 3 Aug 2001, denis wrote: > > If it's 600, then how are user's cron jobs going to be run?? > > Denis > > On Fri, 3 Aug 2001, Sam Vaughan wrote: > > > > > On my Slackware 8.0 box it is. > > > > $ ls -l /var/log/cron > > -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jul 22 21:50 /var/log/cron > > > > this should be chmod 600 > > > > Sam > > > > > > > > On Fri, 3 Aug 2001, Tony Lambiris wrote: > > > > > Can anyone else confirm or deny that /var/log/cron has perms 666 in > > > slackware 8.0?
