I desperately need to get this fixed as I will be leaving for a trip on
the 20th and have some cron stuff to run while I am gone.

I ran cron-diagnose.sh, which now runs the cron-config, and changed from
just-me to local system and that still didn't fix the problem.  A ps -eaf
shows that cron is now UID SYSTEM and not 0.  But that did not make a
difference.  I set up the following entry in my crontab:

    12 14 * * *	touch /tmp/crontest

The time came and went and no zero length file showed up.

Running cronevents, the list had the following error line:

2011/12/16 14:12:01 [SYSTEM] /usr/sbin/cron: PID 2524: (Vidiot) WRONG FILE OWNER (tabs/Vidiot)

Which file is it exactly complaining about?  My crontab file, which worked
under 1.5?  What is needed to fix it?  Where is the crontab file placed?

Please, time is critical.

Thanks

MB
