Explain how you can specify which users are allowed to create cron jobs and which are not.

What will be an ideal response?


You can specify which users are allowed to create cron jobs and which aren't by creating the following two files:
•  /etc/cron.allow. Users listed in this file can create cron jobs.
•  /etc/cron.deny. Users who are not listed in this file can create cron jobs.
By default, the /etc/cron.deny file already exists with its own entries, including the following:
•  guest
•  gast
If the /etc/cron.allow file exists, it is the only file evaluated; /etc/cron.deny will be ignored in this situation. If neither of these files exists, only the root user is allowed to define user cron jobs.
