Small AIX system error -- crontab fault

Small AIX system error -- crontab fault

System Environment:

Operating System: AIx 5.3.8

ORACLE: Oracle 10gr2

Fault symptom:

Oracle users cannot enable the crontab tool (other common users are also allowed by the root user)

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] $ crontab-l

Crontab: You are not authorized to use cron. Sorry.

Fault Cause:

1. Most files in the/var/spool directory of the host are deleted.

2. the cron directory under/var/adm is also deleted.

Solution:

Copy/var/spool files and/var/adm/Cron files from other hosts to the local directory

After the copy is complete, modify the corresponding file owner:

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] # cd/var/spool/cron/

[[Email protected]:/var/spool/cron] # ls-l

[[Email protected]:/var] # chown bin: cron/var/adm/cron

 

Create the cron. deny file:

[[Email protected]:/var] # cd Adm

[[Email protected]:/var/adm] # ls

Cron CSD sulog wtmp

[[Email protected]:/var/adm] # cd Cron

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] # ls-l

Cat: cannot open/var/adm/cron. deny

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] # Touch cron. deny

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] # chown bin: cron. deny

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] # Cat/etc/cron. allow

Note:

1. Configure cron. deny to deny access to crontab.

2. the cron. allow configuration allows users to access crontab.

Verification:

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] $ crontab-l

[[Email protected]:/var/adm/cron] $ crontab-e
