There are two types of crontabs, the system crontab and user crontab. Each user has their own crontab and they can edit it with "crontab -e" Normal users can't edit each other's crontabs, or the system crontab. And programs run with the permissions of the user, thus you can limit them with login classes and permissions. Read the man pages for crontab. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
