My MD5 for that file is 3d7a88f82812c75c7a1ab0d3d806dc86, which matches
yours...

My file size matches yours. :)

I cvsup'd RELENG_4/src-all on 18 December 2001 and did make world then.
I have since then cvsup'd every two-three days...

Running as "marcs", I get this with the username at the end of
/var/cron/allow...
pressure (1) : crontab -l
0 10 * * * ( /usr/local/www/generate.pl )
<snip>
pressure (2) : hd /var/cron/allow | tail -2
00000000 72 6f 6f 74 0a 6d 61 72 63 73 0a |root.marcs.| 0000000b
Here I see my output is slightly different to yours, though I am not
sure why...
[09:20:38] ~
pressure (3) : cat /var/cron/allow
root
marcs
[09:20:41] ~
pressure (4) :
Note that I dont have a newline character after the last username.

My file sizes/dates match yours.

You were mistaken in thinking that I implied offense in the first place.
I never said your patch was 'poorly expressed' nor 'inaccurate', though
I see you feel the need to criticise mine and be quite harsh in your
replies. In fact, you show little or no 'restraint' as far as I'm
concerned.
I will not waste my time further with this debate. It's obvious that
you have resent me sending in this patch, so I will 'withdraw' my patch
and my work on this PR can be ignored.

This portion was not written by me, but was merely re-ordered...
I wish you the best of luck in getting your patch committed and hope to
have better dealings with you in the future.
