[lxc-users] Crontab in fedora containers.

[István Király]

Hello Mike.

Host is Fedora 20 with kernel 3.16.4-200.fc20.x86_64

LXC: 1.0.6 compiled from latest release

Host is fedora with SELinux disabled.

Container was created with the fedora template but in an earlier version of
LXC.

I'm not sure what you mean by container version. Containers are also Fedora
20.

Logged in with ssh. LXC is running on the background.

I just created a new test-container, added my user and it behaves exactly
the same.

Without /etc/cron.allow
You (user) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam
configuration.

With ALL (then newline) in /etc/cron.allow

[user at crontest ~]$ crontab -e
You (user) are not allowed to use this program (crontab)
See crontab(1) for more information

Thank you very much.

Greetings, ...
