Description Moshe Kamensky 2010-03-14 01:15:00 UTC

fcrontab -l does not list the crontab of a regular user

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fcron-3.0.5-r1 with pam enabled
2. run fcrontab -l as a regular user

Actual Results:  
The program returns:

could not change egid to 109: Operation not permitted

where 109 is the _uid_ of fcron (in my case)

Expected Results:  
The crontab should be listed

The solution is to change `fcrontab_uid' to `fcrontab_gid' in fcrontab.c, line 394

Is the user in the cron group?

Yes (though, to my understanding, this is no longer relevant)

Thanks for reporting, I've patched this in 3.0.5-r2 and will send it upstream in a moment.
