That would be me, I guess.  I never claimed there's no /etc/crontab
file.  I claimed there's no root crontab which, as some posters have
noted, is something different.  On the 4.3 systems I have around here,
there's a root crontab starting like this:

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/adcrcln339/crontab installed on Mon Jun 11 20:53:28 2001)
# (Cron version -- $FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab/crontab.c,v 1.12.2.2 2000/12/11 01:03:31 obrien Exp $)

It's no big deal.  I was just wondering where that came from and why
I'm no longer seeing it.
