When I do "crontab -l" as root, the system states that root has no crontab. Yet it apppears the file /etc/crontab is functioning as root's crontab (since logfiles are being rotated, etc.). This is counter-intuitive. Is there a rationale for this behavior? Also, the fact that this file is world-readable, seems like a bad idea (a small, but potential security risk). This is with FreeBSD 2.2.6. Thanks, -- Richard Coleman coleman@math.gatech.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
