================
>Description:
The at(1) page erroneously says "An empty /var/at/at.deny means that
every user is allowed use these commands."
Comment:
The observed behavior seems better than the documented behavior so
I'm happy seeing the man page changed rather than the program, but
one wonders why the comment was ever included. Perhaps the code has
broken and with later be fixed, requiring another man page reversion.
================
>How-To-Repeat:
Delete/rename /var/at/at.{allow,deny}. As a non-root user, do
"touch /var/at/at.deny; atq". Observe usage denial message.
================
>Fix:
patch -d "some uncompressed man/man1 dir" < this-PR
