Perhaps he tried the command 'cron' as a regular user, which will
fail of course. Messing around in the system-wide /etc/crontab
doesn't seem a good idea to me either.
In my opinion, for a normal user, the commands to look at are
crontab -l
to see what's in ones personal crontab and
crontab -e
to edit it.
See
man crontab
