It works as a background daemon that parses 8 individual crontab files and executes commands on behalf of 9 the users in question. 10 11 Upon installation, this package will enable a system level 12 cron daemon with hourly, daily, weekly and monthly crontabs. 13 14 However, it doesn't allow non root users to create their own 15 crontab file. This is because /var/spool/cron/crontabs is 16 non user writable. 17 18 Typically, a crontab group is created on the system and 19 users allowed to create crontab entries are added into this 20 group, while crontab executable is owned by root:crontab 21 with sgid bit enabled. 22 23 http://www.jimpryor.net/linux/dcron.html 24
