--- That's an equally valid paradigm. One could argue that cron and at jobs should both run with the same LUID and UID.

However it's alot easier / predictable using the existing allow/deny mechanism, since you'd still have inaccuracies of LUID and action correspondence.

A new paradigm of each cronjob in a separate file in per-user dirs under 'tab' could allow reliable prediction if it was considered 'important' enough to make the design changes to cron.
