In tracking down the cause of my "/var/log/maillog.0: No such file or directory" errors from newsyslog, I "discovered" that I had both a root crontab entry and /etc/crontab. Both of these were running newsyslog at the same time and they were conflicting with each other. My question is why is root's crontab entry treated differently (i.e. a file in /etc) as opposed to just having a crontab (in /var/cron/tabs)?
