I have a great problem with the SCO UNIX 3.2.2 and cron. The following
is a job in /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/news:

15,30,40,00 * * * * /bin/su news -c "/usr/lib/news/bin/input/newsrun"

(at example, this is only ONE job..)

And the result is, that cron mails me:

Cron: can't set login UID

Your commands will not be executed

(on Interactive 3.2 or Microport 3.0e this works fine, on SCO UNIX 3.2.2 not..)

Who can help me...
