Hi!

For some reason cron keeps complaining about:

Message 2/1442 Cron Daemon                       Sep 17, 1999 09:40:36 pm +0200

Return-Path: <root>
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 21:40:36 +0200 (CEST)
To: root
Subject: Cron <root@node10c55> root     /usr/libexec/atrun
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>

root: not found

Cron keeps root flooding with e-mail.
What mistake did I make when editing crontab (as root I entered: crontab -e).

This is the output of crontab -l (for user root):

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
