And that is the same as the other machine, right?
I know nothing about fcron, but I recall agonizing over the choice
of crons the first time I installed gentoo. I'm curious why you
picked fcron over the many alternative crons.
BTW, noticed the fcron ebuild says:
ewarn "fcron usage can now only be restricted by adding users"
ewarn "to the following files instead of to the group 'cron':"
ewarn
ewarn " ${ROOT}etc/fcron/fcron.allow"
ewarn " ${ROOT}etc/fcron/fcron.deny"
Are those files the same on both machines?
