--- Comment #1 from Joe Barbish <qjail1@a1poweruser.com> ---
After reading what I posted I see I was not very clear about what needed to=
 be
changed.=20

Only the second paragraph under the Description heading of cron(8) needs to=
 be
replaced with the following paragraph content.

The cron utility uses a file formatted as defined by crontab(5) to control =
it's
actions. The host system default is /etc/crontab which should not be change=
d.
Additional crontab(5) defined files with unique file names may be manually
placed in the /etc/cron.d or /usr/local/etc/cron.d directories. Also the
/var/cron/tabs directory may contain crontab(5) defined files named after
accounts in the /etc/passwd file as documented in crontab(1). File content =
read
from these directory locations are merged together and loaded into memory f=
or
use by the cron utility. Issuing the "service cron restart" command from the
root host console will refresh the cron utility's in memory controls.
