what do you mean?  what error do you get?

    >/n/boot/sys/log/cron
    chmod +alrw /n/boot/sys/log/cron

should work just fine.

you could draw a new window, bind /n/boot /, do your work,
and then delete the window.

alternately, you could bind /n/boot/sys /sys and then unmount /sys.

the best solution is putting yourself in the sys group and
not using the /srv/fs.noauth kludge.
