I added to /etc/crontab this line:

*/5     *       *       *       *       user1    /usr/local/bin/getmail \
-r /usr/home/user1/.getmail/getmailrc


I wanted getmail to pick-up mail for user user1. Result is error:
exec: :permission denied

$ls -l /usr/local/bin/getmail
r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  328 Jun 22 07:41 /usr/local/bin/getmail*

I also tried to create user1's crontab ( su user1; crontab -e ) . Result is the
same. What's wrong?
