RE: [cobalt-users] Cron question

Only if it is a cron for login with userid 0, which is root (other users can
be made to have uid 0 as well by making their uid 0 in the passwd file.
Otherwise it will execute with the permissions of user who submitted the
cron job.

does a program that gets executed by the cron always get root-rights
