Hi, we're running 0.25.5 on SLES11 SP1 machines and are now noticing lots of clutter in root's crontab. The packages are rolled from the suse-specfile as distributed in the puppet tarball.
SUSE sees fit to drop a warning comment into /var/spool/cron/tabs/<user> that state this: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (- installed on Thu Oct 28 13:36:12 2010) # (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) When using crontab -e, this is hidden from the user (i.e. not in the editable crontab). Whenever puppet makes a change, it submits this comment as new content somehow though, and it all piles up in the crontab. Has anyone seen this and can give a hint how to keep this from happening? From looking at OpenSUSE source packages, it doesn't seem like there is a specific patch to make cron work differently in SUSE environments.
