WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.6.0-R15076
CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

We haven't had an issue with this but cron jobs aren't being saved inside of cPanel. I noticed several threads from a long time ago and it is hard to believe this has been going on for several months without a fix from cPanel.

Will the new Current fix this issue? What changes are included in the Current release?

I'm having this problem too. I did what another thread suggested and installed perl-libwww but that didn't help.

I upgraded to current and still the same problem.

If this is still an issue for you, would you mind opening a support ticket (if you can) please? I just tested on the same platform/cPanel setup and both the Standard and Advanced cron editors within cPanel saved the cron entries. This was done with the X3 theme. If you are using the X theme, please let me know.

I've seen several tickets regarding this and it has always been the SUID bit missing from /usr/bin/crontab

Run the command below to set the suid bit and it should resolve the issue.

Code:
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab
The correct permissions should be

Code:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 315384 May 19 18:15 /usr/bin/crontab
