I want to add an entry in crontab but it is not possible.
I've tried doing this as a regular user and as su.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.crontab -e
2.edit the crontab
3.In VI do a :wq
	

Actual Results:  This is what I get when I have edited the crontab.
The next time I enter the crontab it still says no crontab for user toor -
using an empty one.
***
[toor@~]$ crontab -e
no crontab for toor - using an empty one
crontab: no changes made to crontab
[toor@~]$ 
***
In the above example I have edited the crontab and added MAILTO="".

Expected Results:  The additions made in crontab should be saved.

This is a std release of Fisher.
