Users trying to use crontab -e and VI (haven't tried other editor) will find that when they try to save the cron job they will get a message that says "crontab unchanged" and crontab -l shows that no crontab has been entered. This goes for all users, and it doesn't matter if you set up a /etc/cron.allow or not. AG
