Description

Salute.

POSIX says that at(1) should look for at.{allow, deny} permission files in
/usr/lib/cron. But our at(1) implementation uses /var/at. I checked NetBSD and
it uses /var/at as well. On the other side Solaris gets it right.

Any suggestions on how to handle it ?

Cheers,
Stathis

I've just been informed by swildner@ that in Issue 7 they replaced
"/usr/lib/cron/" path with "implementation defined directory".

So we are ok.
