I read that cron jobs for users other root require the user to be in the cron.allow file. Is this true?
by default the cron.allow file does not exist and any user NOT in the cron.deny file can use cron (by default no one is in the deny file). If the cron.allow file exists it overrides the cron.deny file and a user MUST be in cron.allow file to use cron.
