another cron problem - permission denied

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi,

I have done a fresh cygwin minimal installation on a winnt workstation with cron
and ssmtp.
Then I've tried to install a crontab with crontab -e. After saving the file,
crontab gives the following messages:

$ crontab -e
no crontab for administrator - using an empty one
crontab: installing new crontab
crontab: error renaming tabs/tmp.000614 to tabs/administrator
rename: Permission denied
crontab: edits left in /tmp/crontab.614

Because I know that cygwin 1.3.12 uses a more stricter right handling, I've made
sure that the User are in /etc/passwd, but I really does not know what the
reason is for this.

Thanks for any help

Ralf
