See crontab(1) for more information

After installing via composer on a Linux (Debian Jesse) server, I went to http://[host]/cronkeep/src/ in a browser. I received the following error:
There has been an error reading the crontab. Here's the output from the shell: You (daemon) are not allowed to use this program (crontab) See crontab(1) for more information

Where is crontab(1)? I couldn't find anything in the Wiki to help.

CronKeep uses the standard crontab utility for reading and writing cron jobs. crontab(1) is just a reference to the manual page (run man crontab from a Linux shell to read it).

The user daemon is probably denied access from a file called /etc/cron.deny which blacklists users, one per line - you may remove the line "daemon" from there to allow access. Here's an excerpt from crontab's manual:

If the /etc/cron.allow file exists, then you must be listed (one user per line) therein in order to be allowed to use this command. If the /etc/cron.allow file does not exist but the /etc/cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the /etc/cron.deny file in order to use this command.

The manual also states that:

For standard Debian systems, all users may use this command.
