Created cron.allow file and now email fails
Getting ready for Sarbanes Oxley and I was told that I need to create a cron.allow file for the box so that only specified users can create cron jobs. That was easy enough, and I put in all the accounts that had scheduled cron jobs such as:
root
lp
My oracle account
A couple of programmer accounts.

I set that up yesterday but I noticed today that all of the schedule jobs ran, but the jobs that sent e-mail for status reporting failed. Is cron somehow related to email. Do I need to set up some type of system user in the cron.allow for e-mail to work?

Solution found.
I was able to figure it out. Problem was user behind the keyboard. Smilie
