Subject: Crontab Failure

I am getting the following message every 5 minutes:

Date: Mon, 20 Nov 1995 10:05:02 -0600
From: root@nething_aus.zilker.net (Cron Daemon)
To: root@nething_aus.zilker.net
Subject: Cron <root@nething_aus> 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

It apparently thinks the global crontab file is the regular one for a user
called 'root'. How do I restore it to it's 'system-wide' status.

Thanks
