I am running WindowsXP and have an ssh identity file owned by me: -rw------- 1 Administ None 672 Oct 22 16:15 identity The problem is that I do not seem to have read access to this file when running a command under Administrator's crontab. Right now, I have: * * * * * /usr/bin/cat /tmp/identity > /tmp/identity2 2>&1 But /tmp/identity2 is just: /usr/bin/cat: /tmp/identity: Permission denied When I run the command from the shell, it works fine. I have run `id` from the shell and from cron and there is a minor difference: uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users) uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),545(Users) If anyone has any ideas, or needs further information, please let me know.
