the strange fact is that at is setuid and setgit, so once you're in the daemon group, you should be able to add tasks, but:

1) the permissisons in /var did not change since 0.7

2) even if i add myself to the daemon group, i still get the same error.

hmm

vmiklos at package is missing /etc/at.allow file. So far I see only root is allowed by default but looking at the code in at.c it seems like it has a small bug in setting up the permission too. ( however the patch is untested )

hm.

$ echo foo |at now
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
Cannot create atjob file /var/spool/atjobs/a0000501330fb8: Permission denied

after:

$ echo foo |at now
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
Cannot give away file: Operation not permitted

i don't think such an error message could be caused by a missing file :s

ok so the patch seems to be fine.

Cannot give away file: Operation not permitted < that indicates wrong permission on some files/folders
