/var/spool/cron/crontab/cron: Permission denied
Which of the following will permit the cronjob to execute?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

The error indicates that the cron user does not have permission to run the cronjob. Creating a cron.allow file and adding the user cron to it will allow that user to run cronjobs. The cron.allow file is a security feature that controls which users are allowed to use cron.
