Description Karl Berry 2000-02-04 16:37:46 UTC
unlike every other unix, linux crontab requires
crontab -u to specify the user to edit, as in crontab -e -u karl
instead of just crontab -e karl.

thanks.

This appears to be the POSIX-compliant behavior, which was
explicitly done by the package's author.
