When crontab is fed to cron, i.e., crontab -u root /etc/crontab, the user field is copied to the tab file, i.e., to /var/cron/tabs/root. When cron executes, it thinks the user field is part of the command. Docs refer to user field but some samples in man don't. I'm not sure if I did something wrong in editing that file??? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Delete the user fields from /etc/crontab before exporting to cron. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
