102-500 Exam - Question 19


FILL BLANK -

Which file, if present, must contain all users that are allowed to use the cron scheduling system? (Specify the full name of the file, including path.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

The correct answer is /etc/cron.allow. The /etc/cron.allow file, if present, must contain all users that are allowed to use the cron scheduling system. If this file exists, only users listed within it can schedule cron jobs. If /etc/cron.allow does not exist, then there is another file, /etc/cron.deny, which contains the list of users that are not allowed to use cron. If neither file exists, all users can use cron.

/etc/cron.allow is correct man crontab DESCRIPTION crontab is the program used to install, deinstall or list the tables used to drive the cron(8) daemon in Vixie Cron. Each user can have their own crontab, and though these are files in /var/spool/cron/crontabs, they are not intended to be edited directly. If the /etc/cron.allow file exists, then you must be listed (one user per line) therein in order to be allowed to use this command. If the /etc/cron.allow file does not exist but the /etc/cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the /etc/cron.deny file in order to use this command.

The correct answer is /etc/cron.allow. If the /etc/cron.allow file is present, then only users listed in that file are allowed to use the cron scheduling system. This file is typically used to restrict cron access to root and other privileged users. If the /etc/cron.allow file does not exist, then all users are allowed to use cron.

So many people attest/confirm that it is /etc/cron.allow which is correct and this should finally be corrected before people learn the wrong content.
