Privet Dima, This is from the man page: ============ The superuser may use these commands in any case. For other users, per-mission to use at is determined by the files /var/at/at.allow and /var/at/at.deny. If the file /var/at/at.allow exists, only usernames mentioned in it are allowed to use at. If /var/at/at.allow does not exist, /var/at/at.deny is checked, every username not mentioned in it is then allowed to use at. ============= I'd first try doing "touch /var/at/at.allow" which would create an empty file (hence, no users to allow use of "at" to). If the above doesn't work, then you can "cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd > /var/at/at.deny", which would then deny use of "at" to all users listed in /etc/passwd file. Oops, just tried first method and I thing you will have to use the second method: shell6: {1036} ls -l /var/at/at.deny -rw------- 1 root wheel 0 Jul 17 1997 /var/at/at.deny shell6: {1037} at 10am May 2 ls -l Job 6 will be executed using /bin/sh shell6: {1038} atq Date Owner Queue Job# 10:00:00 05/02/98 jkb c 6 shell6: {1039} Hope above helps. -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark."
