As I recall, if admin leaves a blank /etc/cron.deny and no
/etc/cron.allow then all users will have access to cron.
That isn't working for me in one isolated case (a gentoo install
inside a windows vm).
What else can cause this behavior?
I've looked at permissions on /var/spool/cron, subdir, and files.
They match my other installations where users can access cron.
I use the tried and true vixie-cron.

Are your users in the 'cron' group?

I had to add users that needed access to cron to the group cron. I am
also using vixie-cron.
