Re: [TCLUG:13780] format for cron.deny?

[Karl Morgan <ksm@dogbrain.com>]

I seem to recall that you list users, one per line in these files.
I don't think a catchall like 'all' is supported.

       If the allow file exists, then you must be listed  therein
       in  order to be allowed to use this command.  If the allow
       file does not exist but the deny file does exist, then you
       must  not  be listed in the deny file in order to use this
       command.  If neither of these files exists, then depending
       on site-dependent configuration parameters, only the super
       user will be allowed to use this  command,  or  all  users
       will be able to use this command.

(from the manpage for crontab)
