What were you trying to do?
	Use crontab

What's wrong:
	It's not setuid so it cannot edit user's crontabs.

What should have happened:
	It should just work. This is not a public workstation.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
       crontab(1) notes that if you don't want uers to be able
       to run cron, you should use cron.deny or cron.allow
