 This is not a bug, it's basically security restriction.  If you want
 to losen this restriction locally, so do it.
 
 The procedure about at.deny and at.allow is explained in detail in the
 man page at(1).

 So ask your system administrator about how you will get permission. :)
 It's his job.  On my systems, i usually pick the `at.allow' route,
 i.e. i explicitly allow the use of `at' for trusted people.  So you
 can see, these files are constituing a security policy, thus it's
 nothing we could provide in the default distribution.

 BSD.var.dist does only have information about directories, not files
 therein.  The required directories under /var/at are being created by
 it already.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

State-Changed-Why:  
It's not a bug, it's a feature. 
The correct setup is a matter of local security policy, thus the current 
default state is as good or as bad as any other choice.
