A ps to the perms msg

Greets all;

I just changed /var/spool/cron/crontabs/gene so its owned by me again, but
I am still being denied crontab -e permissions.  Probably because
/var/spool/cron/crontabs is also owned by root:root.  But since that
directory contains ALL the crontabs, I can't just willy nilly change that
to, so I am reduced to scratching my thinning hair and muttering WTF?

???

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene
