644 resides on the cron file with root owner and root group. Not executable as it's 644.
I'd expect it's run as root since I just dropped the file in there (created it in there and set permissions), although a "crontab -l -u root" doesn't show it listed, looking in /var/log/cron it does get loaded but the commands don't seem to get executed. I tested this by cron'ing: * * * * * ls /proc >> /tmp/proc and by running the above as a script like: * * * * * /root/listproc.sh the file wasn't created.
