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:

I checked on my desktop, and two laptops, and they all had 666 as the perms. Thanks.
