Thanks, I suppose I have not exposed myself to enough Linux
distros. Before this morning, I was not aware there were a number of
different cron packages available on Linux.
vixie-cron (used by SuSE) supports the username column in /etc/crontab
On OpenBSD, there is not a /etc/crontab "to begin with"; but create one
(with correct permissions) and it starts working.
I've used MDK and RH, but didn't use /etc/crontab on those systems.
