>Description:
The manual page at(1) says:
An empty /var/at/at.deny means that every user is allowed use these com-
mands. This is the default configuration.
However, NetBSD does not install an empty /var/at/at.deny, so
by default only root is permitted to use 'at'.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use 'atq' as a normal user on a freshly installed
NetBSD system.
>Fix:
Either we should install and ship an empty /var/at/at.deny, or
we should fix the documentation to say that the default
configuration is that only root can use 'at'.
I'm not sure exactly where it would make sense to install the
empty /var/at/at.deny -- perhaps from etc/Makefile?
