Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2004-09-29 16:10:05 UTC 
Unfortunately, the new CVS migration resulted in some fixes 
being dropped, which causes this problem.
This is now fixed in vixie-cron-4.1-16:
1. If neither /etc/cron.{allow,deny} exist, 
   ONLY root may use crontab (and now may do so!)

2. If no /etc/cron.{allow,deny} exist when the package
   is installed, the %post script will create an
   empty /etc/cron.deny file, thus allowing all users
   by default, the way the old cron used to work.
