DESCRIPTION

9       The  /etc/at.allow and /etc/at.deny files determine which user can sub‐
10       mit commands for later execution via at(1) or batch(1).
11
12       The format of the files is a list  of  usernames,  one  on  each  line.
13       Whitespace is not permitted.
14
15       If  the  file  /etc/at.allow exists, only usernames mentioned in it are
16       allowed to use at.
17
18       If /etc/at.allow does not exist, /etc/at.deny is checked,  every  user‐
19       name not mentioned in it is then allowed to use at.
20
21       An empty /etc/at.deny means that every user may use at.
22
23       If neither exists, only the superuser is allowed to use at.
